2022 Skyland Bible Conference

The 66th annual Skyland Bible Conference (July 2-8) will be held at Bluefield College in Bluefield, Virginia. The conference is known for its in-depth Bible teaching, friendly fellowship, and outstanding activities for all ages both on and off the campus.

*** Check-in at Conference is 3:00 pm on Saturday, July 2 - PLEASE NO CHECK-INS BEFORE 3:00 PM. ***

Continuing the tradition of excellent Bible teaching, the speakers for the 2022 conference will be Joe Reese, Steve Price and Nate Bramsen. If you are looking for a spiritually enriching vacation, rather than mere entertainment, this is your best choice.

A conference for the whole family. Receive spiritual edification, renew acquaintances and make new ones, enjoy varied activities for all ages, see the sites around Southwestern Virginia.

Skyland Bible Conference is very affordable for large families. The conference offers a $75 discount for each immediate family member over three (3) members. So the larger the family, the more you save!

For example: a family of 5 can come to Skyland for a whole week of lodging, meals, lots of fun, as well as spiritual enrichment for less than $850. That is $850 for a week’s lodging and all meals, not to mention all the activities that are available and it is a great value. Then add the incredible ministry and the Bible study and the wonderful fellowship with other Christian believers and you really see the value of the conference.

Everyone is encouraged to sign up by May 15th so that the conference staff can plan effectively.

Conference Speakers


Steve Price: Steve is a former emergency room doctor and current elder and itinerant minister from Overland Park, KS - a suburb of Kansas City. He is also a gifted speaker. His experiences give him unique illustrations for his ministry.



Joe Reese: Joe, who resides in Golden Lake, ON, Canada is an evangelist and Bible teacher. His direct approach and southern charm have made him a Skyland favorite.



Nate Bramsen: Nate was born and raised in Senegal, West Africa to missionary parents. His time is invested in church planting, youth ministry and itinerant speaking. He and his family are soon moving to Bangladesh to work in that country.
