Young Reformers Conference 2008

Now, I know what your thinking, there is no such thing as a young reformers conference. That's why I am writing this little note. As I searched for a conference to send some of the leadership in our youth to, I found the well pretty dry. There wasn't anything out there with the depth of teaching that I desired or the passion for the classic, Christocentric, reformed view of the Scripture. So the idea hit me, why not do one yourself. I am throwing the idea out there and looking for feedback from my respected network of Chambers friends. Would any of you be interested in taking the leaders in your youth and college ministries to a young reformers conference?

Here's what I have so far:
Location- Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL
Speakers- Paul Alexander, Mark Dever, Josh Harris, C.J. Mahaney, etc (I'll see if my pastor can pull a few strings)

This would be a week long conference that would focus on equipping students in High School and College for ministry. Biblical interpretation, classic reformed theology, and a high view of the solas would be the pillars of the teaching and workshops. Wheaton would provide housing.

That's the idea so far. Of course, I have to confirm a lot of things, but the first step is to see if you agree with me that there is a need for this kind of a conference and then if you would be interested in participating. Let me know what you think and have a Merry Christmas (and a Happy Hanukkah).

  • Josh,

    Sounds like a great idea! Let me know if you need me to ask around about getting any other speakers...
    Our church doesn't have much of a youth group at this point (new church plant), but you have a great idea there.

  • That sounds like a great idea! I only have one question...
    Where would you get a whole week for your Hig Schoolers to go? I remember being in High school, an a weekend event was hard for me to swing, simply because I had a lot of things going on, on many days...

  • This event would probably be towards the end of the summer. Perhaps the first week in August (sorry TLC :-( )
