2023 Keynote and Speakers

October 13-14, 2023

A Holy People for a Holy God: Studies in Leviticus, Jackie Gober, Bible Teacher
Leviticus poses a challenge for most people. You might find yourself avoiding this Scripture altogether! While the book may seem mysterious, even daunting, there is much in Leviticus that is beneficial for us. We, however, need to know how to read it well. At its core, Leviticus proclaims God’s holiness and what it means for Israel to live in His holy presence. When we understand this framework, the rest of the book comes into focus and becomes easier to understand. During our large group sessions, we will explore how God reveals His holiness to us in Leviticus and what it means to “be holy as He is holy” (Lev. 11:45, 19:2; 1 Peter 1:16).

Who Is the Holy Spirit? Kim Monroe, Bible Teacher
The Holy Spirit is the most mysterious and least known member of the Trinity. In our time together, we will discuss two questions: Who is he? and: What is his role in the plan of redemption?

Worship Music – Rachel MacKay
Rachel MacKay

Rachel was born and raised in a Christian home where faith in God and musical training were always the focus. She began to serve God with her musical abilities at a very young age and was led to major in music education in college. It was in 1989 that she first came to serve on the worship team of Faith Presbyterian Church of Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania in an assistant capacity. Following her passion to help others grow their musical talents, she formed “Relentless Faith” a youth jazz band in September of 2010. In June of 2012, she became the Director of Music Ministry and is very excited to share new music as well as time-honored music, with the congregation. “Music is such a glorious gift from God. It is a privilege to be involved with music in ways that help others worship God, learn the truth of His great love for us and also help others realize their own musical gifts.” Rachel teaches about 35 piano students privately during the week. She lives with her husband Jeff and a few critters in Langhorne. In her spare time, she has honed her cappuccino making skills and can produce an award-winning brew.

This is Rachel’s 7th year leading us in songs of praise to our great God. You can listen to Rachel’s music from our 2020 Workshop on our YouTube channel:
