Building Tomorrow's Church is a one-of-a-kind event geared towards Christians of all ages who desire to learn more about the importance of the local church and how to serve Christ through it.

BTC is a ministry of Grace Covenant Church in Gilbert, Arizona, a reformed baptist congregation which fully subscribes to the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. BTC operates under the direct oversight of the GCC elders.

Purpose

The Building Tomorrow’s Church conference ministry, or BTC, was originally established for the purpose of encouraging young adults who are professing believers, specifically those in the larger confessional baptist community throughout North America, to love Christ and to love that which Christ loved and died for—His bride, the Church.

It is vital that today’s young people continue in the footsteps of the passing generation, their parents and grandparents in the faith, and stay faithful to God in their doctrine and practice. The goal of BTC is to see this generation and every generation of believers filled with a sincere enthusiasm for strengthening the body of Christ by pursuing godly living, confessing biblical truths, and actively serving in local churches.

Distinctives

REFORMED
BTC is a one-of-a-kind conference ministry hosted by a reformed baptist church to serve other reformed baptist churches. We make no apologies for standing upon a confessional foundation (the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith) as we seek to interpret the Word of God and apply it to our lives. This shows up most prominently in both our speaker selection and target audience. The speakers we invite are confessional churchmen, and our target audience are Christians from reformed baptist congregations.

RELATIONAL
Genuine, potentially life-long friendships are born every summer at BTC. Many of the BTC attendees come from relatively small churches in various corners of the continent; but at BTC they are introduced to other Christians who share similar beliefs and belong to similar reformed congregations. We thank the Lord for what He has done through this conference to bring like-minded young believers from churches in different parts of the country (and world) together each year and to strengthen gospel bonds between churches across the country—and beyond.

REAL
Biblical Truth is the foundation of the ministry of BTC. Whether it's the preaching, the song singing, the breakout session discussions, or conversations across the table during meals, at BTC, we emphasize authentic Christianity. In practice, this often means that we encourage believers to dig deep into their Bibles; to go to their pastors with questions and concerns; to serve in their local churches; and to seek godly counsel from wiser brothers and sisters in Christ. More than anything, at BTC the message of the Gospel of Christ is the focus. Plain and simple. And real.
