"Back to the Book" Conference
In the fall of 2007, we invited Dr. Dale Bruner, considered by many to be one of America’s most exciting Bible teachers, to spend a weekend at First Pres. During his time with us, he gave three plenary adresseses on the Bible to “jump start” discipleship training for everyone: his messages brought several famous passages from the Gospel of John to life in a fresh, contemporary translation and practical application.
