Join us for our annual Bolton Conference.
The New England Reformed Fellowship (NERF) began the annual Bolton Conference in 1985 to stimulate spiritual growth among God's people and to deepen vital understanding of historic Christian doctrine through the exposition of the Word of God. Every year on the last weekend of October, this conference has hosted two notable reformed men who have spoken in six sessions on matters of biblical and theological interest and importance to those who hold convictions of historic, confessional, reformed theology.

Our Sessions
Though happily called to walk with their Lord, believers may feel prone to wander along what John Bunyan named “by-path meadow,” the end of which is despair and doubt. Trusting that we will be “transformed from glory to glory” by degree (2 Cor. 3:18), how do we deal with the sobering danger of backsliding? And what does it mean to persevere in the Lord, who alone is able to keep us from stumbling (Jude 24)? Please join us and invite others to “take heed” and “take heart” in the Christian walk!
