LECTURES, FELLOWSHIP, MUSIC, and more!

SAVE THE DATE: January 4-6, 2021

Featuring presentations by Dr. Mark David Hall, Dr. Robert Gagnon and Rev. Jeffrey J. Meyers, the Christendom Lectures will take place in January 2021 over a three-day event aimed at exploring theological and practical topics that will equip both pastors and laity to think clearly about current theological and social issues that face the Church.

The lecture series on Storming the Gates of Hell will be held January 4-6, 2021 at Church of the Redeemer in West Monroe, Louisiana.

The Christendom Lectures are not intended for church leaders alone but for stirring up all members of the Church to love and good works.

The theme for the upcoming Christendom Lectures is Storming the Gates of Hell. Many of us are witnesses to an alarming number of challenges facing the church in North America. Our society’s understanding of sexual identity and ethics, previously shaped by biblical principles, is now being completely upended. The Christian principles that informed the founding of our country have been challenged or even abandoned. And yet the church is still called to boldly proclaim the gospel that the atoning King has come and reigns now. We hope this lecture series will help us dwell on what is good and true and inspire us to stand boldly for the truth.

Beyond listening to the speakers' presentations, guests at the Christendom Lectures will be able to sing and pray during matins, enjoy meals and fellowship with one another, peruse offerings from several book vendors and more.
