Seminar Details

This year, we are pleased to welcome back Dr. Jonny Gibson for our Seventh Annual Winter Seminar, January 16-18 of 2025. Rev. Dr. Jonathan Gibson is associate professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary, having previously served as associate minister at Cambridge Presbyterian Church in England. He is a contributor to and co-editor of From Heaven He Came and Sought Her: Definite Atonement in Historical, Biblical, Theological, and Pastoral Perspective. He is also the author of historical and biblical articles in Themelios, Journal of Biblical Literature, and Tyndale Bulletin, as well as “Obadiah” in the NIV Proclamation Bible. His PhD was published as Covenant Continuity and Fidelity: A Study of Inner-Biblical Allusion and Exegesis in Malachi (Bloomsbury). Dr. Gibson’s academic interests include biblical theology, covenant theology, Genesis chapters 1–3, inner-biblical allusion and exegesis within the Old Testament, Pauline soteriology, and the doctrines of grace.

In partnership with our friends at the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, this year’s conference/course will be on the theme “Doctrine and Doxology: The Worship of our Triune God”

Come to the Blue Ridge mountains this winter and join Dr. Gibson as together we explore the biblical, theological, and historical basis for Christian worship, and why we do what we do when we worship the triune God.

The conference will take place 6:00-9:00 PM on Thursday (1/16), 6:00-9:00 PM on Friday (1/17), and 9:00-3:00 PM on Saturday (1/18).

Course Description:

This year’s conference and seminar will also serve our MDiv students as the required course on Worship (PT508). The purpose of this course is to provide students with the biblical foundations for worship. This course will argue that gathered worship is legitimate, necessary, important, and should be conducted biblically in both form and content. In addition, the course will address the crucial matters of music, congregational singing, contextualization, “worship styles,” and more. The goal is to prepare students to be biblical worshippers, to help others be biblical worshippers, and to be effective leaders in worship.

Location: Waverly Place Baptist Church (1407 Kenwood Blvd SE, Roanoke, VA 24013)
