Apologetics Conference at North Park in Hamming Hall on May 26

Can you defend your faith? This conference is designed to engage with other believers and to learn the scientific, historical, archaeological, philosophical, and non-Biblical evidence for the faith. Real questions deserve real answers. If you want to learn how to accurately and confidently defend the faith make sure you are in the building. If you are skeptical or seeking answers to tough questions you should be in the building as well. All are welcome! Come willing and ready to learn, fellowship, and engage. Ticket price INCLUDES lunch!!! More information or to sign up please click HERE.

Gentrification & the Church: Moving from Displacement to Beloved Community Conference

This city has been hit by urban abandonment more than most and has been undergoing extensive redevelopment in recent years. What are the forces that led to the suburban flight of North St. Louis? How did St. Louis become one of the most racially-segregated cities in the world? What should the role of the Church be in engaging the community without participating in displacing the poor? The CMI conference 2018 will gather leading scholars, pastors and practitioners both nationally and locally to address these questions. Participants will gain historical and theological insight, learn from innovative organizations and network with justice leaders in St. Louis. For more information please click HERE.

This conference is the 2018 City Ministry Initiative Conference hosted by Covenant Theological Seminary. Learn more about CMI.
