Church Discipline Conference
  • Overview

    At this conference we will bring an exegetical understanding and practical application of the various texts of Scripture that deal with the matter of discipline in the church. The church today has largely set aside church discipline as one of its ordinary means of grace, and as a result, even pastors are unclear on what the Bible says on the matter.
