Nicea Conference 2025

A gathering 1700 years in the making

October 22-25, 2025
Ä°stanbul, Türkiye

Seventeen centuries ago, pastors from every corner of the world gathered in the city of Nicea (Iznik, Türkiye) for the First Council of Nicea. These early leaders united to address denials concerning the divinity of Jesus Christ.

Out of a scriptural conviction that Jesus is God, this council penned the Nicene Creed, which stands as the most widely confessed and majestic expression of the Christian faith, underpinning the essence of the gospel we confess.

The aim of this conference is to commemorate the heritage of the church, to remind us of the truth proclaimed through the ages, and to exhort us to proclaim and protect the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
