About the Conference

Covenant theology is breathtaking! It breathtakingly provides the biblically inspired lens for unlocking the meaning of the entire biblical storyline—two representatives (Adam and Christ), two acts (disobedience and obedience), and two outcomes (condemnation and justification). This is covenant theology as expressed in Romans 5!

Join the 2026 Pactum conference to listen, learn, and engage in fruitful conversation about the time-tested sacred understanding of Jesus Christ, the last Adam, who fulfilled all righteousness for His people according to the eternal intra-trinitarian decree of the triune God, as there will be nothing like it!

Your speakers will point you to Christ, your host church will serve you in the name of Christ, and your Pactum community will join you in exalting Christ.
