Welcome! Pillars of the Baptist Tradition is a half-day mini conference with the aim of retrieving the past to equip the church for the future. Our desire is to increase awareness of the riches available to us in the Baptist tradition. It is our prayer that this conference will serve as a spark for greater appreciation for Baptist history, as well as an entry point into further engagement with Baptist sources. Jake Stone, of The London Lyceum’s “Generally Particular,” will be our speaker. He will bring lectures on Benjamin Keach, Isaac Backus, and William Carey. Please see below for more specifics regarding the conference and for the registration link. Note: Lunch and a book are included with your registration.
