Learn from an authority on the Westminster Standards
Join us for four days of rich teaching and fellowship around the Westminster Standards—the fullest expression of Reformed theology and doctrine—led by Dr. Chad Van Dixhoorn.
“The Westminster Confession of Faith is a banquet of biblical teaching; it is rich in theology. There is a wealth of doctrinal teaching there for Christians to study and to own for themselves.”
DR. CHAD VAN DIXHOORN
