Join us Friday, October 26th, 2012 through Sunday October 28th, 2012 for the Grace Family Network Semper Reformanda Conference.  Keynote speakers Thabiti Anyabwile, Michael Horton and Voddie Baucham will address the topic of "Why Church Membership Matters". The conference will include special breakout sessions from other Pastors and teachers at GfBC covering a range of topics regarding the church.

Thabiti Anyabwile, Senior Pastor, is a native of Lexington, North Carolina (U.S.).  He is the happy husband of Kristie and the adoring father of two daughters, Afiya and Eden, and son, Titus.  He began serving as elder/senior pastor in August 2006. He served previously as an elder/assistant pastor at Capitol Hill Baptist Church (Washington, DC) and as an elder at Church on the Rock (Raleigh, NC). Thabiti holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in psychology from North Carolina State University. A former high school basketball coach and bookstore owner, he enjoys preaching, reading, sports, and watching sci-fi films.

Dr. Michael Horton is the J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics and has taught apologetics and theology at Westminster Seminary California since 1998. In addition to his work at the Seminary, he is the president of White Horse Inn, for which he co-hosts the White Horse Inn, a nationally syndicated, weekly radio talk-show exploring issues of Reformation theology in American Christianity. He is also the editor-in-chief of Modern Reformation magazine. Before his time at WSC, Dr. Horton completed a research fellowship at Yale University Divinity School. Dr. Horton is the author/editor of more than twenty books, including a series of studies in Reformed dogmatics published by Westminster John Knox.

Voddie Baucham wears many hats.  He is a husband, father, pastor, author, professor, conference speaker and church planter.  He currently serves as Pastor of Preaching at Grace Family Baptist Church in Spring, TX.  He has served as an adjunct professor at the College of Biblical Studies in Houston, TX, and Union University in Jackson, TN.  He has also lectured at Southern Seminary.

Voddie’s area of emphasis is Cultural Apologetics.  Whether teaching on classical apologetic issues like the validity and historicity of the Bible, or the resurrection of Christ; or teaching on biblical manhood/womanhood, marriage and family, he helps ordinary people understand the significance of thinking and living biblically in every area of life.
