Seminar Speakers
Bruce Hulshizer
Deconstruction and Progressive Christianity
“Progressive Christianity” influences towards apostasy by undermining faith and deceiving through emotions. Be encouraged to avoid impostors and the empty world of endless questions, and to instead rest in God’s Word.
Bruce Hulshizer
Christ, Not Religion
Avoid the draw to a false stability in ritualistic religions like Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism. This seminar will help saints enjoy the completeness of Christ and His Work, so they aren’t robbed by manmade religion that takes the name of Christianity.
John Kurian
Living By Faith in Times Like These
As we await Christ’s imminent return, this seminar will explore how believers can experience the victorious Christian life—living by faith, and fulfilling our calling to serve and glorify the One who gave Himself for us.
Gary McBride
God’s Plan for the Ages
(Dispensationalism 101)
Jer. 29:11 – “For I know the thoughts I have for you… to give you a future and a hope.” Is God finished with Israel? How do we respond to the Reformed view that we as the Church have replaced Israel? Come explore dispensational truths found throughout scripture.
Rex Trogdon
Christ, Who is Our Life, God is Not an Idea, He’s a Person
The apostle Paul declared, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” There are several ways that Christ should be seen living His life through us each day. We will consider these major areas of life that will challenge us to submit to Him. The greatest mission is still submission.
Bob Upton
The Preacher and His Preaching
Why are some messages hard to follow while others bring God’s Word to life? Faithful preaching requires clarity—clearly explaining what God says, emphasizing the main point of the text, and applying it meaningfully to everyday life. This seminar offers practical guidance for anyone who teaches God’s Word.
Mike Hart
Family Matters
This session will look at Deuteronomy 6 and explore the importance of our first mission field: our family. We will look at God’s Design, God’s Direction, and God’s Destination for the family. We will answer the questions of what God requires from fathers, mothers, and children, and be encouraged to replicate God’s model.
Craig Fritchey
Why You Need the Local Church, and Why the Local Church Needs You
When a local assembly functions in a biblical manner, a God-given interdependence results. This seminar will discuss how each of us can play a vital role in our local assemblies and how we can positively impact one another as we grow together under Christ.
June Peck
Equipping Women to Teach Women
This seminar will explore scriptural directives and advice on the role of women as Bible teachers, both inside and outside the assembly setting. We will also discuss some basic concepts and methods for leading a women’s Bible study.
Ruth Schwertfeger
Biblical Womanhood
The shape of the seminar will closely reflect the given topic: direction and purpose. We will enjoy together how biblical womanhood, as revealed in the Old Testament Scriptures, already reflects the longing for the Coming Messiah, the Light of the world. What then does it mean to live in the Light of the Lord Jesus? Drawing from the New Testament Scriptures, we will continue to enjoy how He—the true Light— infuses purpose and meaning into the life of every believing woman— young and old, from every ethnicity. World views and conflicting ideologies of womanhood are merely the external context. They will never change the power and purpose of His truth and light.
John Peasland
Salt and Light in Our World (Business As Missions)
This seminar will introduce how vocational work can serve as a strategic platform for advancing the Gospel, especially in unreached regions, while delving into the theology of work to challenge every believer’s perspective of their vocation. The seminar will also challenge local assemblies to consider how business as missions can expand access to unreached people and the need to intentionally send and commend believers engaged in business for missional purposes.
Dan Weaver
Biblical Manhood
Our culture rails against toxic masculinity. God created men and calls them to fulfill their purpose. This seminar explores biblical masculinity through the example of the Perfect Man, the Lord Jesus.
Dan Weaver
Teen Seminar: Admiring the Right People
We live in a culture that idolizes influencers, wealth, and power. This seminar challenges young people to rethink who they admire and why.
Micah Tuttle
Teen Seminar: Developing a Disciplined Life
Our culture idolizes quick fixes, but godliness comes through commitment and hard work. This seminar will discuss how we can develop patterns of discipline in our lives that help us become more like Christ.
