Here We Stand!

October 31, 2017 marked the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther nailing his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany. This act jump started the Reformation and spread the Good News far and wide that God saves sinners by grace alone through faith alone for the sake of Christ alone.

Proclamation's Reformation Conference to celebrate this event was a great success!  Our distinguished speakers provided us with an indepth look at the Reformation, the Scripture God used to recapture the Gospel, and the ripple effects they had and still have today.
