About the Event
How are Christians to live in this world? How does the Lordship of Christ affect every aspect of our lives? How does our view of the end times affect the way we live? What does it mean to seek first the kingdom of God? What even is the kingdom of Jesus Christ and who are members of His kingdom? Has Christ’s kingdom already come or is it still to come? What does it mean to pray, “Thy kingdom come?”
Our Go & Teach Conference 2025 is meant to develop and deepen a Biblical, Reformed, and evangelistic understanding of Christ and His Kingdom. With four main sessions and eight breakout sessions to choose from, we seek to examine what the kingship of Jesus Christ means for us today. Beginning with a Biblical framework for understanding Christ’s kingdom, we then look at how we are to live as citizens of Christ’s kingdom in this fallen world.
