What is Coram Deo?
Coram Deo is a Latin phrase meaning “before the face of God.” It is often associated with John Calvin and other Reformers who summoned the Christian to live all of life in God’s presence.
For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
- Psalm 56:13
More specifically, pastors have been charged in the presence of God to preach the word.
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
- 2 Timothy 4:1-2
The Coram Deo Pastors Conference was created to remind pastors of our great God, to recharge preachers to teach with clarity and conviction, and to reinvigorate the weary soul for a life of ministry faithfulness before the face of God.
