2021 Theology Conference
The Promise of Life
God’s Plan for His People in the Covenant of Works
Join us October 8–9, 2021 at Providence OPC in Pflugerville, Texas for our annual theology conference.
After a year off, we cannot wait to get back together. We will explore God’s purpose for his people in the covenant of works and how Christ now secures that blessed future in our place.
Pflugerville, Texas
October 8–9
Theme
This year, we will consider, “The Promise of Life: God’s Plan for His People in the Covenant of Works.” In contrast to Roman Catholic, modernist, and evangelical approaches, we will explore a thoroughly Reformed understanding of God’s relationship to Adam as he was created. We will learn how Jesus Christ ultimately brings us to the glorious future which God originally offered to Adam in the garden of Eden.
