In 1989 Tim and Kathy Keller packed up their home and moved from rural Virginia to plant Redeemer Presbyterian Church in the center of Manhattan, New York. As a Reformed minister, Keller held two core convictions concerning the church. First, the “gathering” of believers each Sunday for worship was essential for growth in grace. Second, as believers grow in grace the church ought to then “scatter” into the city for the remaining six days to do good in the name of Christ. God blessed the work of Redeemer as Manhattan saw an uptick in gospel ministry.
The Gathered & Scattered Conference aims to promote this vision for churches across metro Detroit. Matt Smethurst, pastor of River City Baptist (Richmond, VA) and author of “Tim Keller on the Christian Life” will be the keynote speaker. A number of like-minded churches will be present as we together ask that God would raise up more "gathering" and more “scattering" here in our own city.
Register Today! All tickets include one free copy of "Tim Keller on the Christian Life" by Keynote Speaker, Matt Smethurst.
