Idaho: Regional Conference
2026-07-19 08:00 - 2026-07-23 21:00 (America/Chicago) | Grace Bible Church, 1115 Idaho St, Kamiah, ID, 83536, United States
Trends vs. Text
Testing Theological Trends with the Word of God
July 19-23 | Kamiah, Idaho“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God…” — 2 Timothy 2:15
This July, we invite you to join us in beautiful Kamiah, Idaho, for a regional conference focused on one central question:
Are our theological conclusions shaped by Scripture — or by trends?
In an age where cultural assumptions, popular language, and ministry movements often shape belief more than careful exegesis, this conference calls believers, teachers, and leaders back to the discipline of rightly dividing the Word of truth.
Together, we will test contemporary theological trends against the text of Scripture.
