Fall Conference
Every fall, Central Seminary conducts its annual Fall Conference. This one-day conference is designed to edify and equip believers in the areas of ministry and Christian life. Alumni, pastors, and friends from across the nation and around the world attend.
Our next Fall Conference will be held on Tuesday, October 13, 2026 with New Testament Scholar, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace.
You can now watch all the sessions from our Fall Conference on the Central Seminary YouTube channel!
We share these resources to help pastors, students, and churches stay grounded in God’s Word and equipped for gospel-centered ministry in today’s culture.
Subscribe for future conferences, lectures, and ministry resources.
