estminster Seminary California’s 2020 Annual Conference commenced the evening of Friday, January 17, and continued through Saturday afternoon. This year’s conference attracted people to campus from 20 states and 4 countries, with many more friends from around the world viewing live online. Emcee Dr. Ryan Glomsrud and other members of the WSC faculty – President Joel E. Kim, Drs. Michael S. Horton, David VanDrunen, Bryan D. Estelle, S.M. Baugh, and A. Craig Troxel – explored the conference theme, “In

This year’s conference explored this theme of God’s love and provision ultimately found in the Last Adam. Opening the conference, Dr. Horton examined the imago dei in his lecture, “Created in the Image of God.” A crucial part of being God’s image bearers, Horton observed, has to do with something between us and God; that is, a covenantal commission. God gives this commission only to humans through our father
“THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST IS THE GUARANTEE. IT GUARANTEES THE RESURRECTION OF ALL WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS." PRESIDENT JOEL E. KIM
