"The church is marked by its unity, shared life, commonality, and community—in a word: fellowship. Fellowship is critical to the life of the church. Christianity is not a spectator event that happens on Sunday but a common, shared life with other believers."
— John MacArthur
Our 2026 Sundays in July seminars have concluded. We are grateful for everyone who joined us for these special times of fellowship and equipping.
We pray the seminars encouraged you and strengthened your relationships within the church.
Audio recordings from most of the seminars are available below. We look forward to gathering again next summer.
