About the Event
“Be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Christ’s commission to bring the gospel should be of primary concern to all believers, individually and corporately. Our Go & Teach Conference is meant to equip and encourage Christians to share and defend the gospel winsomely, courageously, Biblically, and faithfully.
With six main sessions and several breakout topics, we seek to examine apologetics and evangelism both theologically and practically. Beginning with the essence of the gospel, we then examine the power, the hope, and the scope of this gospel that we are called to be witnesses of. After considering the urgency of the gospel, we conclude with Christ’s commission of the gospel. Our prayer is that all who attend will have fresh gospel insights and firm gospel resolve to be witnesses for Jesus Christ!
