WHY A WORLDVIEW
CONFERENCE?
CHRISTIAN STUDENTS KNOW LIFE IS
MORE THAN FUN AND GAMES.
They need and welcome access to
answers to life’s issues through
God’s wisdom. Increasingly the favorite sport of many college professors
and those speaking loudest in society is to ridicule the Christian faith
and its application to all of life.
Through the Biblical Worldview Student Conference (BWSC), Christian
young people will be better trained to
be discerning, thoughtful, ready and
able to handle the intellectual warfare of a culture increasingly hostile
to Christianity. God’s Spirit is working to prepare the next generation to
use God’s Word toward building Godhonoring change in the world. Each
year, outstanding instructors with
the gift of communication challenge
students. Their desire is to equip and
encourage youth, not only with
answers of truth, but a life walk
abiding in the Truth, the Lord Jesus
Christ. Students profit through personal interaction with instructors
and fellowship with those their own
age from across North America.
Quality friendships are formed that
will last a lifetime.
Sessions will be recorded and posted
at www.sermonaudio.com/westmin.
