The Subcommittee on Ministerial Training of the Committee on Christian Education plans to hold the next OPC Timothy Conference on February 7–10, 2024, in Oviedo, Florida. Confirmed speakers include pastors Chad Bond (Reformation OPC, Oviedo), Joel Fick (Redemption OPC, Gainesville, FL), Reformed Theological professor John Muether, Westminster Seminary in California professor David VanDrunen, and CCE general secretary Danny Olinger. Reformation OPC in Ovideo is serving as the host church. Conference attendees will be introduced to a seminary environment and attend classes on the campus of Reformed Theological Seminary.

Those eligible for the conference are young men between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one years old who are members of a OPC congregation and have been identified by their local session as having potential gifts for pastoral ministry. If there is a young man who had demonstrated godliness and giftedness, please consider approaching him about the willingness to attend. It is a wonderful way to meet others in the church, particularly those who are thinking about serving the Lord in some fashion. All expenses are paid by the Committee on Christian Education.

Applications for sessions to submit candidates can be found on OPC.org under “Christian Education.” Completed applications can be sent to Danny Olinger (danny.olinger@opc.org). The application deadline is November 18, 2023. Please consider helping us to heed the Apostle Paul’s words from 2 Timothy 2:2, “What you have heard from me . . . entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”
