Message From Our President
Dear Friends,
You are cordially invited to the 2024 Puritan Reformed Conference, an annual event hosted by the Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary. We are excited about this year’s theme, “Growing Your Own Family and the Church Family God’s Way,” because godly families are essential to the church’s vitality and its mission in the world. John Owen put it like this, “Look what the roots are in the family; such will the fruit be in the church and commonwealth.”
Over the last forty years of ministry, there has not been a topic dearer to my heart than that of covenant families and the church. I can’t stress enough how important this conference will be for you, your spouse, your family, and your church family. If you must pick only one conference to attend in 2024, make it this one. You will not be disappointed.
Our speakers will include Hensworth Jonas, Jonathan Master, Richard Phillips, and the seminary’s own Michael Barrett, Gerald Bilkes, Stephen Myers, and me. For more information on our speakers and the conference schedule see the following pages of this brochure.
As I have said in years past, it is our desire leading up to each conference that we would be a humble people, praying that the Lord will richly bless every speaker and participant. It is also my prayer that each one of us will be deeply aware that we are once again gathering to hear God’s Word testify of its own authority concerning our need to grow in increasing conformity to Christ (Rom.8:29). Let it be our prayer that as we come under the preached Word that we would find our hearts freshly renewed and longing for the heavenly Zion and for the preaching of the gospel to the conversion of sinners.
Thank you in advance for giving serious consideration to attending this year’s Puritan Reformed Conference. It would be a delight to see you there. Although it will be a commitment of time and resources, I believe the conference days will be filled with opportunities to become reacquainted with old friends and to make new ones.
Reformation Heritage Books and the seminary’s own bookstore will be on site with a large selection of new and used books to pick from. There will be books by the speakers, as well as numerous other authors and topics, all available at deeply discounted prices.
Lastly, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to each of our speakers for being willing to make room in their busy schedules to participate in this year’s conference, and to all our staff who work to make this wonderful conference possible. I do hope to see you there. Every blessing to you all in Christ Jesus.
Warmly,
Joel Beeke
