Church Leaders Conference in Singapore

A Church Leaders’ Conference (CLC) in Singapore will be hosted by the Shalom Church April 10-12, 2007. The main speaker is Stuart Olyott who will be preaching on Preaching! This annual conference is primarily targeted at leaders who hold offices in the church as well as those who are in leadership positions in Christian organizations or seminaries.

The aims of the CLC are essentially twofold: 1) to equip the leaders to rightly handle the Word that glories God and edifies the saints and 2) to call the leaders to the rich doctrine of grace that is sufficient to deal with any pastoral matters of the church life. Into its 4th year running, this conference has had speakers such as Richard Belcher, Martin Holdt, and Conrad Mbewe. To register or for more details contact the Shalom Church.
