Register your church today for Gateway's annual Bible teaching conference. This one-day conference provides encouragement and training for anyone who teaches a Bible study or small group as well as special training for those who teach specific age groups. Teachers of every skill level will find challenging sessions designed to take them to the next level.

Bible Teaching has the potential to change people’s view of God . . . and their view of self. When our teaching highlights the core teaching of the Gospel week-by-week, our people grow to see life through the lens of the Gospel of Christ. This year, our Bible Teaching Conference focuses on how we do that.

This year's keynote speaker is Dr. Eddie Pate, chair of the missions and intercutural studies program and director of the Kim School of Global Missions at Gateway Seminary.
