We Believe: A Deep Dive — Baptist Distinctives
Join us this fall for We Believe: A Deep Dive, a special Wednesday night series led by Pastor Jeff Warren alongside guest scholars, theologians, and professors as we explore the biblical truths and Baptist distinctives that have shaped the church for generations. Each evening in the Great Hall concludes with a conversation and audience Q&A, offering practical insight into how these truths inform our everyday lives.
The series begins with Baptist Distinctives, led by Dr. Todd Still, dean of Baylor University’s George W. Truett Theological Seminary. Dr. Still will provide an introduction to the beliefs and convictions that have historically defined Baptists, highlighting both the similarities we share with other Protestant traditions and the distinctives that shape our identity. Together, we’ll also consider what makes PCBC unique within the broader Baptist family. We hope you’ll join us!
