In 1932, the first GARBC Conference—meeting in Chicago—was filled with “happy singing and warm fellowship,” says Paul Tassell in his book Quest for Faithfulness.
The same can be said this year of the 90th Annual GARBC Conference, meeting in Grand Rapids June 27–30. Highlights and photos from that conference fill this issue of the Baptist Bulletin. You’ll also read what the speakers said about the theme “Truth Matters.”
“In asking the question ‘What is truth?’ we know the answer. We love the answer,” says David Strope, interim national representative of the GARBC and one of the conference speakers.
“The question is not ‘What is truth?’ but ‘Who is truth?’” David points out. “The answer, of course, is Jesus Himself saying, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life’” (John 14:6).
In addition to Bible teaching, a highlight of the conference was worship with songwriter and recording artist Matt Papa. He not only led worship each day but also shared a concert and taught a workshop on songwriting. Also not to be missed were luncheons and receptions hosted by various ministries.
“Happy singing and warm fellowship” indeed.
