Is the Church History Conference Worth your $30?

The Church History Conference is coming up soon. It is a great honor for us to host our mentor and friend John Hannah and to offer this opportunity for theological formation to our church, our city, and our friends in the Acts 29 Network.

Perhaps you’re still wondering: is this event worth 30 bucks and a day of your free time? The following questions might help you decide:

  • Do you have a hard time explaining to your Catholic family members how the gospel you believe differs from Roman Catholicism?
  • Do you often wonder why there are so many different churches and denominations?
  • Do you have a vague sense that the Reformation was a significant period in world history – but you’re not sure why?
  • Do you feel like Protestants and Catholics ought to “just get along,” because the differences in their belief systems aren’t all that significant?
  • Do you find yourself lost in conversations with skeptical friends who challenge you about the Crusades or the Inquisition or a dozen other dark events in the history of the church?
  • Would you like to be more conversant in how Christendom has shaped western culture – for good and for evil?

If the answer to any of the above questions is “Yes,” you’ll want to be present next weekend. This is not one of those conferences that’s for intellectuals or academics or people with theology degrees. Those who are more academically inclined will certainly find Dr. Hannah a capable mentor. But this conference is mainly for the average Christian who’s trying to understand culture and have thoughtful conversations with family and be more rooted in the history of “the faith once for all handed down to the saints” (Jude 1:3).

Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Register here.

[...] Hannah. These words of wisdom have hopefully served to heighten our sense of anticipation for the Church History Conference, which is now upon us. Some have been humorously tongue-in-cheek, others have been grave and [...]
