Our 2026 theme is Revelation and the Worshiping Church. The Book of Revelation offers an anchor of timeless hope in the supreme enthronement and cosmic worthiness of the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb. Before the heavenly drama of the book’s narrative unfolds, chapter one presents a resplendent and worthy Jesus Christ. In chapters four and five – before the Lamb marches to victory – God’s throne room pauses to worship. In chapter nineteen, the great multitude in heaven roars a mighty “Hallelujah!” as the Rider on the White Horse is declared “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Revelation teaches us to worship!
The vision of Revelation is an evergreen reminder to the church that worship is central in the church’s life “in this world, but not of it.” The book teaches us how to worship our King well. As worshipers and worship-leaders, the deeper our appreciation of this book, the richer its application in the weekly assembly – for ourselves and those whom we lead.
This year’s speaker is Arthur Puente, an instructor at the Sunset International Bible Institute (SIBI) in Lubbock, Texas. He has previously taught at the Quito School of Biblical Studies in Ecuador and later at Lubbock Christian University. He has also served as minister of the Colgate Bilingual Church of Christ in Lubbock. At SIBI, he specializes in teaching the prophetic books of Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation. Recently, Arthur was a keynote speaker on Revelation at Harding University’s Inspire Lectureship.
Arthur is a graduate of SIBI and holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in Bible and Ministry, as well as a Master of Divinity. He has also completed courses toward the Doctor of Ministry. A gifted and respected teacher with a heart for the church, he brings extensive experience in both English- and Spanish-speaking ministry contexts.
The WLC is a free event – anyone may attend. We do ask – but do not require – you to consider helping us to defray the costs with a suggested donation of $35. We thank you for pre-registering (registration link).
The Worship Leader Conference is a workshop event held on the Saturday preceding the annual Texas Normal Singing School. Speakers and topics are new every year – but all with a core subject of worship. In the past few years, speakers have included audio engineers, theologians, professors, ministers, hymnal/psalter compiler-editors, choir directors, hymnologists, and others, each bringing an exciting word about the practice and spirituality of our worship to God. This event is designed to encourage, challenge, and build up worship leaders, song leaders, preachers/ministers, and all those who lead and participate in Christian worship.
