What to expect
A conference for pastors and laypeople from small towns in New England to refresh our souls by focusing on enjoying Christ’s person as the goal of gospel ministry.
Oct 5 (Mon), 1pm – Oct. 6 (Tues), 1pm
Newburyport, MA
Small Town Summits is partnering with Desiring God and the Rural Home Missionary Association to provide a New England-wide Fall conference focusing on enjoying Christ’s person as the goal of gospel ministry. Plenary speakers from Desiring God will spread a banquet for New England Christians serving in small places. Breakout sessions and a plenary panel discussion will provide opportunities to go deep and explore through questioning. Come, be refreshed and strengthened. Together we’ll drink from the river of his delights through preaching, singing, and fellowship. Christ saves us so we can savor him. His dying love secures our eternal joy, and he himself is the source of that joy. We’ll marvel together that he is ours forevermore.
