2026 AFN Summer Conference
The gospel of Jesus Christ is central to orthodox Anglican identity. Article 1 of the Jerusalem Declaration states: “We rejoice in the gospel of God through which we have been saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Because God first loved us, we love him and as believers bring forth fruits of love, ongoing repentance, lively hope and thanksgiving to God in all things.”
Each new generation, however, needs to encounter the gospel anew, and the ministry of catechesis is the church’s way of entrusting the gospel to the next generation. This conference will focus on the question: “What does it mean to rejoice in the gospel, and how do we pass along this legacy to the next generation?”
Through keynote addresses, breakout sessions, and lively conversations, participants will be encouraged and equipped to rejoice in the gospel through the work of catechesis.
Activities begin Wednesday June 10 with Evening Prayer at 4:30 p.m., followed by dinner and a lecture at the Trophimus Center, concluding on Friday, June 12 at 12:00 p.m.
The Anglican Formation Network seeks to strengthen Anglican identity and support the formation of the next generation of leaders across North America. Each summer, the AFN Summer Conference hosts talks and breakout sessions on a key theme from the Jerusalem Declaration, with the goal of providing practical leadership for the Anglican Church in North America and orthodox Anglicans around the world. Projected conference themes include: the Gospel and Catechesis (2026), the Authority of Scripture (2027), Creeds and the Rule of Faith (2028), the Anglican Formularies (2029), the Lordship of Christ (2030), the Book of Common Prayer (2031), Holy Orders (2032), Marriage, Sexuality, and Human Flourishing (2033), the Great Commission (2034), Creation, Justice, and the Poor (2035), Christian Unity (2036), Unity in Essentials, Liberty in Non-essentials (2037), Rejecting False Teaching (2038), Eschatology and the Spirit (2039).
Trinity is to be an evangelical seminary in the Anglican tradition. To this end we develop Christian leaders who can plant, renew, and grow churches that make disciples of Jesus Christ.
