Annual Christian Convention for Evangelism
What started as a small brainstorming session among three friends trying to write sermons has blossomed into a week-long learning event. Thousands of Christians gather from across the globe to learn, find inspiration and spread the word during this convention for the whole family. Polishing the Pulpit takes place at the Sevierville Convention Center Friday, August 21 through Thursday, August 27.
The evangelistic event offers over 500 classes, with topics ranging from in-depth Biblical text study to lectures on the Holy Spirit to practical courses on children’s Bible class resources. The 190 speakers will discuss material on nearly 700 different topics during 13 concurrent hourly sessions that take place over seven days. Clearly, everyone will find something of interest to inspire and educate.
