Recovering a Love for the Local Church

The local church is central to God’s mission, yet its value is often overlooked. Join us for the 2026 Reformed Believers' Conference, as we rediscover the beauty, purpose, and priority of belonging to and participating in the local church.

Join us for the 2026 Reformed Believers’ Conference

Local churches are an essential part of the fruit and work of the Great Commission. Yet, there is a growing decline in the value and priority of the local church in the eyes of many professing Christians. The theme of this year’s RBC is aimed at this pastoral concern to help believers value and prioritise belonging to and participating in whichever local church God has joined them to.

Messages

Built on Christ and His Gospel

Ken Jones
Thursday, June 4th | 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Scripture is clear that Christ and His gospel are to be the foundation upon which local churches are built. However, in a world where local churches are intentionally and visibly built on personalities and all manner of things to attract crowds, the church’s true foundation can easily be forgotten. The aim of this message is to remind us of this enduring truth and to call both church leaders and church members to guard against straying away from this true foundation.

Responding to the Gospel

Cedric Moss
Friday, June 5th | 9:45 AM – 10:30 AM

In an age of easy believism, many people believe that a person responds to the gospel by repeating the so-called “sinner’s prayer.” The burden of this sermon is to remind the conference that genuinely responding to the gospel is accompanied by undeniable evidences of conversion and community life.

Serving One Another

Jude Vilma
Friday, June 5th | 10:45 AM – 11:30 AM

Local churches are a display of God’s sovereignty and wisdom. God is the one who saves people and joins them to local churches. And He is the one who gives them gifts to be used to serve one another, ultimately in service to Himself and for His glory. Yet, oftentimes, believers are reluctant or disobedient in using their God-given gifts to serve one another, and this is increasingly so in a world where it is more desirable to be served than to serve. The aim of this message is to call God’s people to use their gifts in service to Him and one another.

Evangelism: Corporate and Personal

Timothy Treco
Friday, June 5th | 1:15 PM – 2:00 PM

The heart of the Great Commission is to make disciples, and the first step in making disciples is evangelism, which is a faithful proclamation of the gospel. There is a role to play by the local church corporately and members individually. However, church members tend to be more aware of and expect corporate evangelism while neglecting personal evangelism. While this message will touch on corporate evangelism, its primary aim is to call the conference to intentional personal evangelism, biblically and practically.

Local Church Unity

Bryn MacPhail
Friday, June 5th | 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM

Local churches are diverse assemblies of people whom God has saved, gifted, and joined together. Sometimes our diversity threatens our unity, so Scripture repeatedly calls us to unity, even to the point of being willing to sacrifice personally in order to maintain it.

When and How to Leave a Church

Jarvis Singleton
Saturday, June 6th | 9:45 AM – 10:30 AM

Joining and leaving are two realities of local church life. Therefore, an important question is this: When should a member leave a church? This is an important question that requires pastoral guidance rooted in biblical counsel and wisdom to faithfully answer it.

Seeking God's Glory

Ken Jones
Saturday, June 6th | 10:45 AM – 11:30 AM

This is the culminating message of the conference. Its aim is to remind us of the purpose of local churches: To glorify God in whatever they do. Therefore, this message will be relevant to all aspects of the local church, including those not mentioned, because God’s glory is the ultimate end and aim of all things.

Jude Vilma

Pastor at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Kirk

Jude Vilma was born in Nassau, Bahamas, and grew up on the island of Abaco. In 2013, he graduated with a Bachelor of Secondary Education from the University of The Bahamas.

After four years of teaching in the Public Educational System in The Bahamas, Jude answered the call to full-time ministry. For three years, he served in Nassau with The Bahamas Youth Network (BYN) as the Associate Youth Coordinator, during which time he discipled high school and college students.

Concurrent with his ministry at BYN, Jude served as a pastoral intern and deacon at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Kirk and enrolled in online theological training at Reformed Theological Seminary (RTS) in Orlando, Florida. He was a recipient of a full scholarship, and he and his wife, Keitra, relocated to Central Florida in September 2020 to pursue full-time studies at RTS. After three years, Jude graduated with a Master of Divinity Degree.

After graduating from RTS, Jude became a full-time pastoral resident at River City Church in DeBary, Florida. In June 2024, he and Keitra moved back to Nassau, Bahamas, where he was ordained and installed as a pastor at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Kirk.

Timothy Treco

Teacher and Ministry Leader

Timothy Treco was born into a Christian family, the 6th of 8 children. He came to faith at the tender age of 5 and grew up in the Assemblies of Brethren in The Bahamas. A son of the late Elder Herbert Treco of Grace Community Church, Timothy was involved in the music ministry since age 14 and was later ordained there as an Elder in 2002, serving for two years in that capacity. Additionally, Timothy has enjoyed a wide range of ministry, including serving as a Sunday School Teacher, playing the piano and song writing, and developing a highly effective Scripture memory verse program (Verses to Remember) for incorporation into worship services to help God’s people hide His Word in their hearts.

While not having received formal theological training, Timothy is a diligent student of God’s Word and has spent countless hours learning at the feet of well-known theologians, living (like Ray Comfort and Alister Begg) and dead (like RC Sproul, Timothy Keller, John MacArthur, Michael Ramsden, and Ravi Zacharias). Timothy thinks like an apologist and is quick to give a defence of the Faith, given his Brethren heritage and the great influence of stalwarts like Rev. Rex Major, Pastor Allan Lee, Pastor Edward Allen (deceased), and Pastor Tom Roberts (deceased).

Timothy is a family man and is the father of four children – Leah, Jordan, Adam and Jonathan. He is the grandfather of five and enjoys being a part of their lives. Timothy married for the second time in 2016, and is the husband of Kenreece (Pratt).

Timothy earned an AA in Business from the University of Minnesota and acquired most of his business knowledge through hands-on training and experience in his family’s businesses. He is the President of both Master Technicians Ltd and Fashionette Ltd, where he has been employed since 1977, except for the two years he spent in college. Timothy has an entrepreneurial spirit and enjoys ‘projects,’ but, more than anything else, he is defined by his relationship to Christ and his service to Him.
