Preaching Conference 2024 Dates:
April 29-May 2
Check Back for More Info Soon!
Our annual Preaching Conference is truly a time where God meets with us in a special way. Hundreds of Fairhaven Baptist College graduates as well as many other churches from around the world come together to be challenged through the preaching of God’s Word. During this conference, there is a special emphasis placed on theme-based preaching. Not only is this a time for challenging preaching, but also a time for uplifting fellowship with other like-minded believers who are striving to live a separated life for God’s glory and honor. This is especially evidenced in the hosting of our annual Alumni Breakfast where many of our graduates meet together for a challenge from God’s Word as well as some delicious food and fellowship. We encourage you to plan to join us for this exciting and special time.
