The Telos Bible and Theology Conference is co-hosted by Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary & Destination Church. It seeks to cultivate Christian maturation in the greater Jacksonville area through leveraging the teaching resources of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary to make robust theological training even more accessible. The conference gathers scholars around key topics in the areas of biblical studies and theology. Telos Bible and Theology Conference is for the whole Church: pastors, leaders, and laypeople. The conference is named after a Greek word (telos) meaning “end,” “consummation,” or “aim,” with a view toward encouraging believers to live today in light of the ultimate victory that has been secured in Christ.
