Thank you for your consideration of attending the 2012 E.K. Bailey International Expository Preaching Conference. We truly believe that our conference will offer you a highly positive experience that will enrich you as a preacher. Preaching is essential to building up God’s people and we want to help you to improve as a preacher, whether you serve as a pastor or associate minister. We have gathered some of the country’s leading preachers to assist us through general sessions and workshops. Our theme for this year is “Preaching That Looks Up.” We believe it is central that we keep God at the center of our sermons. It is quite easy to be lured into preaching focused solely on our needs, but we believe a complete understanding of God is critical in our current times. We welcome you to spend four remarkable days with us in Dallas, TX making this investment in your preaching and pastoral ministry. Whether you are a pastor, minister, student, or Bible teacher, you will benefit greatly from this conference designed with you in mind. You will not be disappointed! See you this summer, 

Rev. Bryan L. Carter, Conference Host
Senior Pastor of Concord Church
