SUMMARY:2026 "For The Church" Conference – MBTS
DESCRIPTION:2025 “For The Church” Conference at MBTS\n			 \n			 \n				\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				September 28th – September 29th Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Kansas City\, MO Cost: $99\n			 \n				REGISTER NOW\n			\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			 \n				\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Most of the time\, ministry does not feel like dramatic mountaintop moments—but that does not mean it is stagnant. \nAt the For the Church Conference on September 28–29\, we will turn our attention to what is always at work in every season: the Word of God.  \nAcross six main sessions\, we’ll consider how God’s Word is actively working in and through His church. Hear from: \n\nJason K. Allen – The Convicting Word\nH.B. Charles\, Jr. – The Compelling Word\nClint Pressley – The Triumphant Word\nAfshin Ziafat – The Multiplying Word\nJared C. Wilson – The Illuminating Word\nKevin DeYoung – The Incarnate Word\n\nWe hope you will join us to marvel at how God is speaking\, shaping\, convicting\, saving\, and building His church through His Word.
