Gospelway Conference 2026 – The Law and the Gospel
April 24 - 25, 7:00 pm - 12:00 pm | Main Street Baptist Church
About the Conference
God speaks to us in two distinct words: law and gospel. When these words are understood, the Christian life becomes clear, assurance becomes strong, and Scripture becomes alive with the finished work of Christ.
When these words are confused or blended, the result is spiritual exhaustion, moralism, or despair.
Join us for a weekend with Pastor Mike Abendroth as we explore why the Law–Gospel distinction is central to the Christian faith and essential for everyday discipleship.
This is a free event hosted by Gospelway Baptist Church.
Registration is free, but space is limited.
Donations are welcome but not required.
Location
This year’s conference will be held at Main Street Baptist Church, which has graciously opened its doors and allowed us to use its space for the weekend.
We’re deeply thankful for their hospitality and partnership in promoting clear, Christ-centered teaching.
