Conference

Faithfully Leading
in God’s Kingdom:
Exploring God’s
Design for Men

Thursday to Saturday,
October 1-3, 2026

Covenant Presbyterian Church
33 Burton Hills Blvd.,
Nashville, TN 37215

Speakers

TE George Grant – The importance of being mindful of how biblical manhood shapes our behavior as husbands and parents.

TE Sean Lucas – The importance of being measured in how we behave and communicate to wives, co-workers, and even opponents. What does the “gentle” in “gentlemen” mean?

TE Brian Cosby – The importance of modeling a godly Christian manhood to the next generation.

RE Will Huss – The importance of being motivated to live for the glory of God in all spheres of life, which includes motivating others in your sphere of influence to pursue God’s glory rather than merely the things of this world. That pursuit includes excellence and integrity in all that you do.

RE Keith Phillips – The importance of multiplying the number of godly men in the church by reaching out to younger men and nurturing a multi-generational mindset in ministry.
