The 9Marks Northwest Conference is a way for Christians to learn about often-overlooked biblical practices for the church. The focus of this 2026 conference is the important topic of Discipling. Many evangelical Christians may have already formed opinions about discipleship informed by their good or bad experience of it in the local church. But what does the Bible say? And how should we practice healthy discipleship 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 through a Biblical understanding and practice of discipleship. We will study the theology behind discipleship and the practical outworking of discipleship in the local church. There will be many opportunities throughout the conference to ask questions, dialogue with the speakers, and build relationships with other Christians.
