The Truth Conference
Once a year, we gather in person for the Truth Conference, a weekend of encouragement, clarity, and courage. This is a time for conservative Christian leaders to come together for worship, strategic discussion, and biblical conviction. Past conferences have been held in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey and will rotate to other host cities such as St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin; Wappingers Falls, New York; and Tampa, Florida.
Friday Evening Session Keynote Speaker
Jon Harris
Jon Harris is an author, musician, cultural commentator, and host of the Conversations That Matter podcast. He serves at Grace Bible Church in Wappingers Falls, New York, and has become known for helping Christians think clearly about contemporary cultural and theological challenges through a biblical lens. His work emphasizes discernment, historical awareness, and courage in confronting the moral and ideological drift within the modern church.
He champions biblical sufficiency, expositional preaching, and moral clarity in a culture of compromise. His ministry calls Christians to resist institutional corruption, defend truth in public life, and strengthen local churches as centers of faithful witness.
Saturday Evening Session Keynote Speaker
Russell T. Fuller
Dr. Russell Fuller earned a business degree and a Master’s in Bible from Bob Jones University before attending Dropsie College in Philadelphia and later Hebrew Union College, where he completed MPhil and PhD degrees. He taught for two years at Mid-Continent College and for twenty-two years at Southern Seminary. A committed adherent to the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, he is deeply influenced by the Westminster Confession and Puritan theology. Dr. Fuller identifies as a young earth creationist and finds joy in studying Puritan writers and their successors. He left Southern Seminary after he publicly opposed what he regarded as a denominational drift into liberalism, refusing to endorse teachings he believed compromised biblical inspiration and the sufficiency of Scripture.
