9:45–10:05 a.m. — The Image of God: The Foundation of Our Identity by Stephen Nichols 

To know who we are, we must start with knowing who God is and the foundational truth that we are all created in His image. This message will explore what this means for our understanding of the beauty, dignity, and sanctity of human life. We’ll also discuss how being image bearers influences our relationships and our life’s purpose. 

10:10–10:40 a.m. — Panel Discussion: The Image of God and Sexuality with Bancroft, Bingham, and Nichols 

This discussion will tackle the complex topic of sexuality and identity, seeking to bring biblical clarity to the conversation. We’ll explore how our understanding of the image of God informs our views on sexuality, gender, and relationships, and how we can hold fast to these convictions while engaging with others who need the truth. 

10:45–11:15 a.m. — Break 

11:20–11:45 a.m. — The Image of God, Technology, and Identity by Nathan W. Bingham 

Technology is advancing at a whirlwind pace. How do we respond? This message will examine the implications of social media platforms, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology on our understanding of human identity and our sense of self. We’ll discuss how our biblical worldview shapes our response to these emerging technologies and their impact on our society. 

11:45 a.m.–1:00 p.m. — Lunch 

1:05–1:25 p.m. — In Christ Alone by Stephen Nichols 

One of the most important questions we can ever ask is, “Who is Christ?” This message dives into the doctrine of the person of Christ, the God-man. We’ll consider the historical and biblical arguments that Christ is unique in all human history and that He alone is the exclusive way of salvation. 

1:30–1:50 p.m. — In Christ: Freedom and Forgiveness by Eric Bancroft 

The Bible teaches that we are all fallen image bearers because we are all in Adam. We are all guilty, in bondage to sin, and under the wrath of God. The good news of the gospel is that Christ came to save sinners. This message will help us understand that while our culture offers all sorts of promises of freedom, true freedom only comes by, through, and in Christ. 

1:50–2:20 p.m. — Break 

2:20–2:45 p.m. — Panel Discussion: In Christ, You Belong with Bancroft, Bingham, and Nichols 

When we are in Christ, we are brought into the new community of the church. This panel will explore how our identity is shaped by our belonging to Christ and to one another. These truths encourage us to live out our faith with conviction and confidence, knowing that Christ will build His church. 

2:50–3:30 p.m. — Q&A: Got Questions? with Bancroft, Bingham, and Nichols
