Bible Conference/Ordination and Installation of Our New Pastor

April 16 & 17 will be a special time in the life of Philadelphia Baptist Church.  We are excited to welcome Dr. Tom Nettles and Dr. Tom Schreiner as speakers for our Bible Conference.  They will also participate in the Ordination and Installation of Dr. Jeff Robinson as our new pastor.

Why should we have Bible Conferences or in-depth Bible studies?

The answer is because God tells us that "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
