The 2026 Theological Symposium will be held on October 4-6 on the campus of Welch College
in Gallatin, TN. Papers are presently being received and will be accepted through Monday, June 1st.

Papers (or abstracts) may be submitted to Cory Thompson at fwbtheology@gmail.com. Other
questions may also be submitted to this same address.

While presenters must be members of a Free Will Baptist church, they can be laymen, church
staff members, pastors, professors, or graduate students. It is open to both male and female
presenters. Maybe you are someone who wrote a research paper recently or in years past that you
felt strongly about. We do accept submissions of such material. Sometimes, with modest
modifications or revisions, these materials can be suitable for our program.

We have an “open theme program” this year. Papers on any subject may be submitted. We ask
that all papers be exegetically and/or theologically significant, carefully researched, and original
in nature. We look forward to hearing from you.
