Christian Education
In this article, adapted from the first lesson of the current teaching series on Christian education, I give an introduction to a Christian view of education.
Midweek Meeting
Our midweek meeting is held on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm at the Bringe home. Our current study is based on J. Gresham Machen’s book, The New Testament: An Introduction to Its Literature and History. This book is a survey of the New Testament and it is composed of short chapters that I read during our meeting, as well as study questions which we use for discussion.
Conferences
The Bahnsen Institute is holding a conference in Omaha, NE on April 18th: “Lord over All: Reality, Thought, and Life.” The speakers will be Dr. Scott Cook, Dr. Phillip Kayser, and Rev. Christopher Neiswonger. This conference will engage the enduring contributions of Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen to metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. It will explore how the lordship of Christ is foundational to how we live in God’s world and defend the Christian faith. If you are interested, you can find more information and registration at this link.
On April 17-18, Christ OPC in St. Charles (2154 Bluestone Dr, St Charles, MO 63303) will host a conference with the theme: “Assurance: Can I Know I’m Saved?” The speaker will be Dr. Jonathan Master, a minister in the PCA and President of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

Covenant Family Church is a conservative, Bible-believing, and elder-governed congregation located in Wentzville, MO which seeks to evangelize the lost and equip those who have been converted to walk worthy of their calling in Christ. 
The Orthodox Presbyterian Church continues to be vigorous in its defense and propagation of the historic Christian faith, particularly as it was articulated by the Protestant Reformers of the 16-17th centuries.
