Preachers and Leaders Conference
Tyndale Theological Seminary coordinates and helps sponsor an annual conference here in the Netherlands. Together with our partners (Geloofstoerusting, TGC Nederlands/Vlaanderen, DesiringGod & 9Marks) we are seeking to bring Christian leaders together to further equip the saints and to encourage networking among fellow believers.
This is a conference intended to further assist and encourage preachers, leaders and all who are interested. It is a Christ-centered, gospel-centered event; focused primarily on gospel clarity, culminating in the centrality of the gospel to everything in life and ministry.
Resources: Past P & L Conferences
As part of our heart for building up Christians in faith, please find all the past conference resources below!
2022 | Biblical Theology: The Bible’s Story
This two-day conference aims to equip the preacher and leader to see the storyline of the Bible, beginning in creation and climaxing in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Grasping the parts (i.e., discrete passages within books of the Bible as well as whole books of the Bible) in light of the whole Canon of Scripture as well as the whole in light of the turning points of redemption together with the contributions of each of the books of Holy Scripture strengthens our confidence in God’s Word and deeply encourages us for the hard work of preaching and teaching God’s Word.

2023 | Doxology: The Goal of Knowing God
This two-day conference helps to us taste and see the doxological goal of our salvation in Christ, how thinking biblically and theologically (i.e., Christologically) culminates, by necessity, in a life of praise (I.e., doxology). While it is true, in one sense, that all of life should be worship for the Christian, this conference aims to help the Christian—preachers and leaders in particular—cultivate a life of praise (doxology). Rejoicing rightly in our great Triune God in any and all circumstances flows from rightly knowing God through His Son, by the Spirit, as revealed in His Holy Word.

2024 | Timeless Truth for a Strange New World
The aim of this conference is to help Christians think through our current culture in the light of the Holy Scriptures. We will do this first by considering how our current culture & view of man and society is the product of a development in thinking over the last few centuries. Then we will show how the counter-cultural nature of Scripture helps us shape our identity in relation to our Creator, to His honour and our well-being.
