The Church Defined: The Beauty of Reformed Ecclessiology

We are pleased to announce that our keynote speaker for 2026 is R. Scott Clark (Ph.D - Oxford). Dr. Clark is a professor of church history and historical theology at Westminster Seminary (California). He has written several books and contributed to numerous Reformed publications. His most recent book - published in 2025 - is titled The Heidelberg Catechism: A Historical, Theological, and Pastoral Commentary (Lexham Press). Dr. Clark is also the person behind the evergreen podcast: The Heidelblog.

In addition to Dr. Clark, we are honored to have Rev. Stephen Terpstra (D.Min candidate - Westminster Seminary, Philidelphia) joining us. Rev. Terpstra is an ordained pastor in the Christian Reformed Church. Not only is Rev. Terpstra knowledgeable in church polity, he is also a talented organist.

Other guests are in the works and be announced closer to the event.

In addition to presentations by our speakers, we will have some panel discussions, and some time together in worship.

We hope you can join us for this day of learning and fellowship!
