About Clarus

Since 2005 Desert Springs Church (DSC) has held an annual conference weekend with a guest speaker and a focused topic. In 2008 we started giving it a name, Clarus – which is Latin for 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 year for fellowship, singing, prayer, and instruction about 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 other churches as well. Some attendees come from out of state or the far-reaches of NM; others are part of 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:

• Dr. Carl Trueman on The Reformation: Why Was It Needed and Do We
  Need Another?


• Dr. William Edgar on Christianity and Culture


• Dr. G. K. Beale on From Symbolism to Significance: The Book of Revelation


• Dr. D. A. Carson and Dr. Michael Horton on Galatians and the Problem of
  Self Justification


• Dr. Ray Ortlund, Jr. and Dr. Sam Storms on The Convergence of Doctrine
  and Delight


• Dr. Wayne Grudem and Randy Alcorn on Between Heaven and Earth

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.
