WBS invites students, alumni, and anyone interested in learning more about the seminary to join us at the 2026 New Room Conference in Montgomery, Alabama. We will gather in room 7207 at the host site (Frazer Church) during the dinner break on Wednesday, Sept. 30. Dinner is free, but please RSVP at the link below so we’ll know how many to expect.
Three days of events for learning, laughter, and lasting impact. Join us in person or online.
We kick off Monday night, Oct. 5, with our Night of Worship, featuring one of our best current WBS students preaching the good news of Spirit-empowered holiness. Gather for a free dinner at Madison Methodist Church at 6:00, followed by a time of worship and the Word.
Tuesday morning, Oct. 6, come to WBS or tune in via Zoom to hear Dr. Justin Bradbury lecture on Co-Vocation and Holiness starting at 9:00 AM Central. Addressing topics such as the sacredness of work and the meaning of vocation, this lecture will be of particular interest to co-vocational pastors and those discerning a calling into both ministry and marketplace work.
Justin serves at Kingswood University as Master’s program director and Co-Vocational Ministry Champion, and is a district leader of the Wesleyan Church in Western Canada.
Wednesday morning, Oct. 7, will be part two of the lectures, with Dr. Billy Coppedge speaking on Orality and Holiness. Around the world, missional movements are recognizing the need to make disciples in ways designed to reach those who prefer to learn orally rather than primarily through reading. Billy will share how this type of holistic communication is based on the example of Jesus and models holy love.
Billy is an Adjunct Professor for WBS, a missionary with World Gospel Mission, and has served as Orality Catalyst for the Lausanne Movement.
Sure, your comedian is funny, but is he funny in the original Greek? Dr. Michael Halcomb brings a unique perspective as a biblical scholar and college professor who decided to dive into stand-up comedy—and it worked!
All friends of WBS are invited to join us Tuesday, Oct. 6 for a Night of Fellowship at Madison Methodist Church. We’ll start at 6:00 PM with dinner provided, followed by a time of laughter, fellowship, and the latest good news from WBS.
We look forward to this gathering each year on the eve of Commencement to honor our current graduates and renew fellowship with our alumni and supporters. Current students and friends of the seminary are also welcome.
