Family Conference



"Foundation Principles for Building a Family"


Central Bible Church will be hosting a conference April 18th-20th, 2008 focusing on the Biblical principles for building a family. This conference will deal specifically with the marriage and parenting relationships. Understanding God's design and order in these basic family relationships is so important so that these relationships are healthy and most importantly are honoring to the Lord. While there is no cost for this conference, we would ask that you pre-register. Please see pre-registration details below.

Our Speaker

We are pleased to have Pastor Jerry Clark as our guest speaker for this conference. Pastor Clark is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary. He has been involved in Christian ministry for 43 years, and is currently serving as the pastor of Riverwood Bible Church in Jackson, MS where he has been for 24 years. In addition to using and teaching these “Foundation Principles for Building a Family” at his own church and in his counseling ministries, Pastor Clark has had the opportunity over the last 15 years to teach these principles to Christian workers and pastors around the world - including places like Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Siberia, Yalta, Malawi (Africa), and the Philippines . Pastor Clark has been married for 39 years and has 4 adult children.
