About Clarus

Since 2005 Desert Springs Church (DSC) has done a yearly conference or seminar weekend with a guest speaker and a focused topic. In 2008 we started giving it a name, Clarus–which is Latin meaning clear, bright, or radiant. We think that word aptly reflects our intentions with this conference: that God and His truth would be made more clear, more radiant to us, and more powerfully penetrating in us. To that end we set aside a full weekend–every first weekend of May–for fellowship, singing, prayer, and instruction on God's words and ways.

While Clarus is a ministry of and to the people of DSC, we are very intentional about it being a service to and fellowship with churches of like-mind. Some attendees come from out of state or the outer-reaches of NM; others are part of other local Albuquerque churches. Space is limited, but the invitation is open to pastors, church leaders, or anyone interested in a concentrated weekend of deeper instruction.

In previous years, our speakers and topics have included:

• Carl Trueman on The Reformation: Why Was It Needed and Do We Need Another?
• William Edgar on Christianity and Culture
• G. K. Beale on From Symbolism to Significance: The Book of Revelation
• Michael Horton and D. A. Carson on Galatians and the Problem of Self Justification

The audio from these past conference weekends is available here for free. It is also available on CD at the DSC Resource Center for a suggested donation.
