"God is a spirit, infinite, eternal and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth." ~The Baptist Catechism, Question 6

Do we truly understand who God is? When we present Him to others in our Gospel ministry, are we doing Him justice as He has revealed Himself in the twin books of nature and Scripture? In the Midwest, Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses represent large swaths of the population. Are we equipped to combat their false views of who God is with the clear testimony of the Word of God Himself? We also must be able to accurately represent God in every evangelistic effort.

We would love for you to join us at our 2024 Evangelism and Missions Conference. The goal of this year's conference is to bring Midwestern pastors together and help them evaluate their presentation of the Gospel in evangelism and missions. Who is God? What has He commanded of His creation? How have certain cults and other groups twisted what God has revealed about Himself, and how can we bring the true Gospel to them more effectively? These are just some of the questions that need to be answered in our day, and in our region in particular.
