On November 16 - 17, we will have the honor of hosting the remarkable theologian, minister and musician, Dr. Jeremy Begbie, as our keynote speaker for this special two-night event, hosted at St. Mark's, San Antonio. It’s all part of our exciting program, “Living in the In-Between Times” celebrating the importance of lifelong learning.
