An Invitation from Pastor Paul Edwards
Is the character and calling of the church defined by the culture in which it ministers or by the eternal, unchanged and unchangeable mandate of its Chief Cornerstone and Shepherd? Many of us would quickly point to the latter, but the reality of how we do ministry in the 21st Century reflects the former.
At this year's 2011 God and Culture Conference on Reformed Theology, we will hear from men who have their feet firmly planted in the eternal truths of God's word, effectively translating those truths into relevant ministry in contemporary contexts which do not compromise the gospel.
Come learn with us how technology is changing the way people hear and respond to the gospel. Go deep into Scripture as we confront the cultural challenge to the Church to affirm lifestyles and behaviors that are clearly contrary to God's revealed will for not only His redeemed people, but His creation. Discover the reality that the Church indeed can by faithful to its Scriptural defined Character and Calling while effectively reaching the lost and fulfilling the cultural mandate.
Register early! We're limited to the first 275 who respond.
For the Gospel's Sake,
Pastor Paul Edwards
