Our speakers
Dr. Michael Riley
Dr. Riley has been the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church since March of 2012. Before coming to Wakefield, he served at Central Baptist Theological Seminary of Minneapolis, Minnesota and International Baptist College of Chandler, Arizona.
Dr. Riley will be speaking on how we defend the faith in a world that thinks it is foolish to believe in God. As we grow further from the Bible and Christian culture as a nation, how will we reach others with the truth of God’s Word? Dr. Riley will provide answers from God’s Word to help believers reach a secular world with God’s truth!
Dr. Riley earned his Doctor of Philosophy degree from Wesminster Theological Seminary in Glenside, PA.
Dr. Jeff Straub
Dr. Straub is an experienced professor of Christian history and theology. He regularly travels internationally to train Christian leaders. When stateside, he publishes in the field of American religion. Research interests include Baptists and slavery, racism, Pentecostalism, and global Christianity. Dr. Straub has taught around the world including Canada where he resided with his family for his first nineteen years of ministry; Romania, Russia and the Ukraine in Europe; India and a limited access country in Asia; and Zambia and Kenya in Africa.
Dr. Straub will be presenting two workshops on understanding the issues invovled in sociel justice and how to think about this movement from a Biblical worldview.
Dr. Straub earned his Doctor of Philosophy degree in Historical Theology from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY
