About
The 9Marks Conference Northwest is a way for Christians to learn about often-overlooked biblical practices for the church. The focus of this 2024 conference is the important topic of Membership. Many evangelical churches have a form of membership, but how does our theology inform why we have membership? And how should we practice healthy membership for the good of the church? This conference will be helpful to both vocational church leaders as well as lay leaders and congregants as we seek to encourage the breadth of the local church.
Speakers will present nine sessions on building healthy (that is, biblical) churches in light of meaningful membership. We want to think about not just what membership is, but what it means for the local church. There will be many opportunities throughout the conference to ask questions, dialogue with the speakers, and build relationships with other Christians.
Who should Attend
This conference will be a chance for you to listen and learn about the difference conversion should make for both the doctrine and the culture of the local church. Because the focus will be on implications for ministry across the breadth of the church, the content of each session and Q&A is not just for the pastor, but for anyone engaged in the local church. You will be provided with the opportunity to not only sit under great teaching, but also to build relationships with other like-minded pastors, students, and ministry leaders.
Whether you are a preaching pastor, lay-elder, staff member, or regular attender, you’ll find this conference helpful. If you love your local church and want to see it get stronger, this conference will be a fruitful setting for you to grow in your understanding of how to help.
