Bruce Ware is our retreat speaker

On February 21-23 some former members of the Shepherd's Church in Charlotte and Pierpont Baptist in Charleston will host a retreat. The retreat will be at the Springmaid Resort in Myrtle Beach, SC. It is a privilege and joy to announce that our speaker will be Dr. Bruce Ware who is the President elect of the Evangelical Theological Society. Some of you might not be familiar with Dr. Ware and his writings so I have posted a short biography along with an audio interview. Hopefully this will give you some insight on his life, work and ministry. Dr. Ware is a very sought after speaker and is well known in evangelical circles. I first heard him at the Pastors Conference in Minneapolis, MN in 2005. At that particular conference he taught on the Trinity and the different role/relationships of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. His talk so moved me that I came back and soon thereafter developed a preaching series on the Trinity.

Bruce Ware received a B.A. in English from Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington. He later earned his M.Div. and his Th.M. from Western Conservative Baptist Seminary in Portland, Oregon, before he moved to Pasadena, California, where he completed his formal education with a Ph.D. in Philosophical Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary.

Ware currently serves as the Professor of Christian Theology at The Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Prior to his current occupation, Ware has held teaching positions at Bethel Theological Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota; Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon; and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois.
