A church’s education program plays a key role in the discipleship process. You may find of interest Wall Street Journal‘s article “How Churches Are Rethinking Sunday School” and RBP Director John Klem’s response, “A Jazzed-Up Sunday School.” For a comprehensive look at the church’s role in discipleship, see Strong Church by John Greening.

2016 CHRISTIAN WORKERS RETREATCA_thumb(2)

The California Association of Regular Baptist Churches will host its annual Christian Workers Retreat at The Hilton Garden Inn in beautiful Monterey, California. Dr. R. Larry Overstreet will be the speaker. As a former pastor and a professor of future pastors and Christian workers, Overstreet firmly believes in the verbal inspiration and full authority of the Word of God, and the desperate need in our day for its truths to be presented clearly and forcefully. He desires to help individual believers and Christian families have their lives solidly established on the principles of God’s Word. Cost for the retreat is $115 per room per night (using the identifier “CARBC Retreat”), plus $80 per person for the program, which includes two dinners at the hotel.

Pastors and their wives need refreshing. That’s why President Jim Tillotson and Faith Baptist Bible College are inviting you to attend Refresh Conference Feb. 9–12. This conference will give couples in ministry an opportunity to get away for a while and enjoy the ministry of veteran leaders. Whether you are a pastor in the lead, associate, youth, discipleship, children’s, music, outreach, or missionary role, you will value the challenging and refreshing messages and helpful workshops. Nursery for children up to age 2 and childcare for ages 3–5 will be provided at a small additional cost of $25 per family.
