Are you a pastor, or are you a theologian? If you are a pastor, the ultimate answer to that question should be “both.” Theology is indispensable to the work of pastoring. The pastor must pursue a knowledge of God through the Scriptures. He must work to understand what the Bible says about various questions and issues Christians face. He must shepherd God’s people to think biblically about every area of life. He must teach them who God is and what He has commanded. He must discern truth from error so that he can warn and protect the flock from false teaching. If a pastor fails in this task, the church will be theologically shallow and easily deceived. Theology is not meant to be done in the academy but in and for the church. Join us for this year’s conference to sharpen your skills and renew your resolve to be a Pastor-Theologian.
