Baptist Renewal – 2025 Spring Conference

AMBER has three clear priorities as an association: to be Word Saturated, Gospel Centered, and Distinctively Baptist. Our 2025 spring conference focused on the third priority of what it means to be distinctively Baptist. We were pleased to have Dr. Michael Haykin, professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, present a talk on the history of the Baptist movement. The remainder of the conference messages were presented by members of our council, each focused on expounding a particular distinctive from the pages of Scripture. Our desire for this conference was that we would all be renewed in our own lives and churches and find genuine unity in gospel partnerships with others who are also seeking to be biblically faithful churches along with us.
