The title and focus at this conference is "Holiness to the Lord." We want to provide a time where people can get to know one another in the context of instruction focused on this season of life.
While we will deal with particular issues to singleness, our greater desire is to cast a vision for holiness in the single years. The Bible does not have much specific to say about singleness in particular, but it speaks clearly about all life phases. We will explain critical doctrines that need to be understood. You will hear stories of great singles in history, and we will also cover questions about marriage and getting married. We will discuss how singles navigate local church life and how to conduct themselves under authority as they get older in their homes.
At the conference, most of the time will be spent with both men and women together in one meeting hall, but we will have a special men only and women only session. Paul Washer, Scott Brown, Joel Beeke, and Jeff Pollard will lead the men's session, while Deborah Brown and Mary Beeke will conduct the women's session. There will be time for questions and answers.
The conference will conclude on Thursday with a luncheon.
This singles conference is a separate pre-conference event just before our National Conference on "Theology of the Family," May 20-22. Both events require a separate registration.
If you have questions you would like for us to answer, we are delighted to hear your suggestions. Click here to submit a question or a comment.
Hope to see you at "Holiness to the Lord," a Singles Conference, and "Theology of the Family," directly after the singles conference.

Elizabeth Botkin is a daughter, sister, aunt, and author, striving to serve the Lord in her church, community, extended family, and family business. She's passionate about studying and teaching on the role of single Christian women in the body of Christ. She and her sister Anna Sofia occasionally write things on BotkinSisters.com.
One of Anna Botkin's biggest life passions is to encourage women to strive for a deeper understanding of the strength, competency, wisdom, and sound doctrine the Lord wants for all His daughters. Some know her as the co-author of So Much More and It's (Not That) Complicated and the blog Botkinsisters.com, but she aspires to be known as someone who never stopped growing and repenting, a faithful servant to her church, someone who labored in the gospel in her local community of Hickman County TN, and the auntie who helped her nieces and nephews uncover a complete triceratops.
