a conference for
graduate students,
faculty, and
professionals

If the local congregation is to be the hermeneutic of the Gospel in the world today, as Lesslie Newbigin insisted, then both pew and pulpit need to be better served by the exegetical understanding gained by theologians in seminaries and universities. One one hand, the suspicion directed by all too many within the church toward theological scholarship has contributed to a diminished understanding of the Christian faith. On the other, the all-too-common disregard of theological institutions for accountability and connectedness to the church has resulted in the loss of the proper sapiential gift that was once given to the people of God.

The Theology & Religious Studies track at Following Christ is planned for student and faculty scholars in divinity schools, universities, and seminaries and for pastors, lay leaders, and educators in the church — to build a new and trustworthy bridge between the academy and the church. Gifted academic scholars who love the church and serve the church will address the daily conference themes, followed first by open cross-discipline discussion and then by discipline-specific small groups for prayer, ministry, and practical application. Join us, and bring partners in the Gospel with you, for a robust encounter with the Lord of the Church.
