The Next 500 Years: 2017 National Conference














































Jesus promised that He would build His church, and through the centuries He has been doing just that--even when forces of darkness seek to destroy it. In pursuing reform, the Reformers knew that the local church was central. This session looks at the importance of our local churches, considers our need for ongoing reform in accordance with the Word of God, and encourages Christians in the ordinary tasks of serving and supporting their local churches for continuing Reformation in the world.
