About the Conference
As the power of God for salvation and spiritual maturity, the gospel is of first importance! Our delight, therefore, is for the focus of the 2025 Pactum Conference to be God’s Great Gospel.
Join us as we listen, learn, and engage in fruitful conversation about the very thing that matters more than anything in this life or the next—the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.
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.
