Speaking the Truth in Love 2026: Pilgrim's Progress

We are excited to announce registration for the Speaking the Truth in Love Conference 2026!

Eleven years ago, this Truth in Love Conference was started because we desired to address some of the most important issues facing the church with an approach that manifests complete confidence in God and His Word, and the kind of love (God’s love) that fuels such an approach.

We live in a world that distorts love and denies truth. Ephesians 4:15 says, “… speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.” That is our goal. We also desired a conference that emphasized that the local church is the pillar and support of the truth in this world (1 Timothy 3:15). This conference remains a ministry of this local church on purpose, and we pray it is an encouragement for our own people, and for all the local churches represented by brothers and sisters who come from outside our congregation.

The theme for this year's conference is Pilgrim's Progress: Living Today with Eternity in View.

Our purpose is simply to equip Christians, pastors, church leaders, and local ministries to know how to live well before God, reverencing him, fearing him, and bearing always in mind that although the world is dark, God will bring every deed into judgment, and every person of faith into everlasting rest.

The Speaking the Truth in Love conference is hosted by Richard Caldwell, Pastor-Teacher of Founders Baptist Church in Houston, TX, and founder of Walking in Grace Ministries. For this year’s conference, we are excited to welcome back Conrad Mbewe, Pastor of Kabwata Baptist Church in Lusaka, Zambia, H.B. Charles Jr., Pastor of Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church in Jacksonville, FL, Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace to You, Jason Allen, President of Midwester Baptist Theological Seminary, Phillip De Courcy, Pastor of Kindred Community Church in Anaheim, CA, and Paul Lamey, Pastor of Grace Community Church in Huntsville, AL.

We invite you to join us on January 30–February 1, 2026 to be part of this important event!
