RALEIGH, NC | THE KING'S CHAPEL

SEPTEMBER 15–18, 2027

REGISTRATION OPENS JANUARY 1, 2027

The Logic on Fire Conference exists to equip and encourage pastors and ministry leaders for faithful, enduring ministry.

In a time where preaching and worship are increasingly shaped by culture rather than Scripture, this conference calls leaders back to four essential pillars of shepherding a thriving church: experiential Bible exposition, sound doctrine, Biblical worship, and gracious fellowship.

“[as true preaching] is the greatest and the most urgent need in the Church, it is obviously the greatest need of the world also.”

Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

The purpose of preaching is soul transformation—the sanctification of the believer, and as Lloyd-Jones emphasized, it is through true preaching that the church impacts the world.
