This July 19-23, GES will be holding a regional conference in beautiful Kamiah, Idaho. The topic is “Trends vs Text.” In an age when cultural assumptions, popular terminology, and ministry movements often influence doctrine, believers must continually return to the text of Scripture. Together, we will examine some of today’s most debated theological issues and test them against the Word of God.
Hosted by Grace Bible Church in Kamiah, Idaho, this conference combines serious Bible study, meaningful fellowship, family activities, and opportunities to enjoy the beauty of northern Idaho.

Attendance is free, but registration is required and can be done at the church’s website:

- Can a believer lose eternal life?
- Does God choose people for hell?
