God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.
Since Pastor John Piper penned these words 50 years ago, untold lives have been transformed by the God-centeredness of God and our happiness in him.
In these days of anxiety and turmoil, we believe that it is more important than ever that we turn our attention Godward and set our minds on things above. More than that, we believe that the Godward life must be handed down from generation to generation.

This year’s theme:
living for more:
the joy of world christians
The gospel of Jesus Christ compels believers to live for more than worldly concerns by pursuing a greater purpose and a more lasting happiness. This conference considers the joy of World Christians, who are marked by a supreme allegiance to the Lord Jesus and a commitment to His church near and far, who embrace their heavenly citizenship and advance the Great Commission with single-minded, sacrificial zeal. This fall, join the teachers of Bethlehem College and Seminary, Desiring God, and other friends as we celebrate the truth that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
The Generations, Together
This year’s gathering will feature interactive workshops on a variety of topics. We will have sessions on theology, writing, engaging culture, history, missions, education, ministry, and more! Bethlehem faculty will lead extended workshops that mine the treasures of God’s word and that wrestle with great books. We will have workshops for aspiring writers, for pastors and preachers, and for teachers and educators (whether traditional school or homeschool).
And all of it will be oriented by God-centered worship, Christ-exalting teaching, and Spirit-bound fellowship and camaraderie in the gospel.
