2020 Presbytery Clerk's Conference Video

This is a recording of the Saturday morning session of the conference - recorded with Zoom’s 'speaker view' turned on. Accordingly, you will see several different people appear as they speak and there are a couple of times people pop up because they weren't muted. The main feature is a presentation by our new PCA Stated Clerk, Dr. Bryan Chapell, on multi-generational churches. It starts a few minutes in and goes for an hour or so. It is followed by related Q&A that is also quite informative. Depending on your browser, you should be able to click on the link to view it. The total video is just over 2 hours in length.
