This year's theme is "...Fulfilling Our Ministry..." (Eph. 4:11-13).

What are the highlights?

t Special Speakers

Dr. Rand Hummel - A dynamic servant burdened to reach and strengthen our youth with the Gospel, currently serving as Director of The Wilds Christian Camp in New England. Author of several books and Bible study guides, he has focused on the need for all believers to know our God through a vibrant personal relationship, and to strive to lead lives of purity. His unique perspectives and enthusiasm will challenge, encourage, and strengthen your vision for a Christ-like life.

 

 

 

Dr. Brian Carruthers - Dean of the School of Education at Bob Jones University, he supervises student teachers in administration and special education. He teaches courses in educational administration and personnel management. His general assembly focus will hone in on the need for ministry based on objectives rather than routine formalities. 

 

 

 

Dr. David Saxon - Professor of Bible at Maranatha Baptist Bible College. Specializing in Church History, he will examine trends in Christian education and how they fit into the greater patterns of the church. In the general assembly, his focus will be on ministry priorities following spiritual practices rather than human-centered models.

 

 

 

Rep. Sam Rohrer - Sam brings a unique perspective and over 17 years of service in the Pennsylvania Legislature to the Conference. He will address how believers can minister while staying alert to current events that are influencing Christians and Christian education.

 

 

 

Dr. Mark Rasmussen - With 30 years of college-level teaching experience, his sessions will have "something for everyone." In the general assembly, he will challenge our operating perspective and priorities of Christian ministry: it's not about us, or how big the ministry is, but about how we can faithfully minister to others. He serves as Vice-President at West Coast Baptist College.
