EMA 2011

Evangelical Ministry Assembly 2011

So much evangelical preaching is biblically faithful but fails to connect with those whom we are trying to reach and serve. The answer is not to jettison what we believe and stand for, nor even the method of communicating it.  In fact these things need to be conserved. The problem is that we tend to be conservative in everything and our preaching is not radical enough to connect.

Speaking of this issue, John Stott asks, “How then can we be conservative and radical simultaneously, conservative in guarding God’s revelation and radical in our thoroughgoing application of it? How can we develop a Christian mind which is shaped by the truths of historic, biblical Christianity and acquainted with the realities of the contemporary world?”

To help us get to grips with this critical issue we welcome Tim Keller, David F Wells, Liam Goligher and Vaughan Roberts – together with an exciting programme of seminar answering the question “How do we connect with….?”

Online booking is now closed for this conference.

What do we stand for?

• Evangelical – We are unashamed to follow the whole truth of biblical Christianity, and committed to the paths of Christian orthodoxy/evangelical doctrine.
• Ministry – We are unashamed to recall ministers to the work of biblical preaching and teaching, believing that this alone with equip the saints for the work of ministry.
• Assembly – We are unashamed to witness to the sufficiency of Scripture and the power of the Gospel as the only hope for genuine Christian unity.

What do we offer?

• Biblical truth taught clearly and powerfully.
• Stimulation for the mind and heart.
• Encouragement through meeting with hundreds of other like-minded evangelical ministers across denominations.
