Blessed Assurance: Resting in the Promises of God

January 23–24, 2026

In an age of uncertainty and anxiety, Christians need the unshakable comfort of knowing their salvation and eternity are secure in Christ. That message is at the heart of the 2026 Westminster Seminary California Conference: Blessed Assurance—Resting in the Promises of God. Join WSC professors, past and present, as we explore the riches of God’s provisions, presence, and assurances. Our hope is that your heart will be filled with the comfort and peace God bestows upon his beloved children.
