What is the Truth Of The Gospel Conference?

The Truth of the Gospel Conference is a combined effort of St Johns Park Baptist Church and Southern Districts Reformed Baptist Church in Sydney, Australia. The namesake, “truth of the gospel” comes right out of Galatians 2:5 and 2:14 where Paul vigorously contends to get the gospel right. The conference, then, is aimed at doing the exact same thing – proclaiming and defending the gospel in all its veracity and glory.

The conference commenced in 2010 with a visit from Conrad Mbewe, “the African Spurgeon,” and since then the annual get-together has had notable speakers from all over the world; and as a result has now the reputation of an anticipated day filled with great teaching, music, and fellowship.

Our prayer then is that through this website, you experience some of the blessings and encouragement that the Lord has given our conference.
