The Anchored Conference is the Talbot School of Theology’s flagship summer gathering designed to ground believers in biblical truth, strengthen the local church, and equip leaders for gospel-centered ministry in a complex cultural moment. First launched in 2025, Anchored brings together pastors, ministry leaders, students, and marketplace believers for two days of teaching, worship, and practical training rooted in the conviction that God’s Word is secure, trustworthy, and unchanging — an anchor amid cultural currents.
Anchored features world-class theologians, apologists, and pastors who help attendees think and live faithfully. Next year’s conference will include Chris Brooks, Ed Stetzer, Sean McDowell, and others. At the inaugural 2025 conference, participants engaged deeply with topics such as Scripture’s authority and reliability, resilient discipleship in an anxious generation, cultural discernment, evangelism in a post-Christian context, and how churches can thrive with confidence and mission.
The Anchored Conference reflects Talbot’s long-standing commitment to biblically centered education and mission-shaped leadership development. Whether a pastor, parent, student, or emerging leader, attendees leave the conference renewed in their confidence in Scripture, strengthened in their walk with Christ, and equipped to serve the church with clarity and courage.
Anchored is more than an event — it’s a movement helping the church stay rooted in deep truth while boldly engaging a world in need of the gospel.
