Conference Description:

All around the globe, at this very hour, there are groups and clusters of men and women, professing faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. They are gathering together, some openly and publicly, some secretly and under threat of hostility. Some gather in large congregations while others gather in small living rooms or even more obscure locations. Step into the fellowship of these otherworldly pilgrims, and there you will find the ancient scriptures being read, taught, and communicated between them. This is happening daily throughout the word in more languages than any one person could hope to learn in a life time. His redeemed people are breaking bread, and observing the cup in His remembrance. They are pouring over his instructions, following his marching orders, and awaiting His promised return. It is these unique people, gathered together in mutual love of Christ, and for one another, that Our Lord has set like a light in a dark place, a preserving salt sprinkled throughout a dying world.

In the midst of so global and precious a light as this, there is an unsleeping and ancient enemy of the church lurking in the shadows, like a roaring lion that is stalking its prey and seeking whom it may devour. Meanwhile, Christ Jesus, The Lord of The Church, cautions His disciples and little lambs that deceptions will come; and thus to be sober, watchful, and discerning. Today, in these days of radical misinformation, internet propagated heresy machines, and slick businessmen masquerading as trusted church leaders, the questions we face as we consider the insidious nature of the culture in which we live is: have we lost our identity as the church in our land? Is what we find in the scriptures still true about how we are living and the way we carry on in the name of Christianity today? What defines how and what a church essentially is? What is the mission? What is the goal? …What is the Church?

Please join us February 20-22^nd at First Baptist Church of Bagdad, FL as we aim to peer into the scripture concerning these matters that define our very existence. You are invited to gather together with believers from around the country for our Third Annual Bible Conference as we examine what has been written, and aim to go about “Recovering The Identity of The Church.”
