Here are links to the two previous posts which contain many basic facts about the Conference which we are not going to repeat here. First post link. Second post link.
All the invited speakers have committed for the Conference to be held April 3-5, 2026 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They are: Rob & Dena Corry from Pennsylvania, Dr. Stephen E. Jones from Minnesota, Edmund Lee from Louisiana, Allen Snow from Tennessee, and myself.
We will provide biographical information for each of them, beginning today with the information Rob & Dena Corry provided.
- Rob and Dena met in college while attending the Pennsylvania State University.
- Rob completed a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
- Dena completed a Bachelor’s degree in Individual and Family Studies before going on to complete a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work at Bryn Mawr College.
- They have been married for 37 years and have been blessed with four sons ranging in age from 15 to 33.
- Rob worked for 36 years in the Defense and Intelligence industry before retiring in 2022.
- Dena worked in the field of social work until transitioning her focus to home and family with the birth of their first son.
- In their “current season” they share home school duties and backyard homesteading projects while prayerfully working on future ministry plans and trying to keep date night alive every Friday.
- They have diverse backgrounds, but those differences complement each other as they walk out their journey to learn God’s will and discover the “more abundant life” that Jesus came to give (John 10:10).
- They have been doing independent Bible study for 30+ years, and their hope is to share what God has been revealing to them through prayer, study, and life experiences.
Rob and I first met in the late 1980’s. Readers who have attended any of our Conferences over the decades are familiar with Rob’s style of Bible teaching. It is very orderly, methodical, logical, and is punctuated by his keen wit and one-liners.
Since Rob’s retirement, circumstances have allowed Dena to team up with Rob and jointly share the teaching. I first witnessed this at Stephen Jones’ God’s Kingdom Ministries Conference last October in the Twin Cities. I was very impressed both with the content and the tag-team manner in which they presented their material. You will be delighted also, I am sure of it.
In the autumn of 2022, I had the pleasure of spending some time with Rob and Dena here in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Here is a picture I took of them as we were out hiking somewhere high up along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
To make a room reservation on line, here is the Stone Kingdom Ministries portal link which was set up for the Stone Kingdom Ministries Group.
You can also book your reservation by calling Central Reservations at 1-800-362-2779. Be sure to tell them you are with the Stone Kingdom Ministries Group to get the special room rates (see previous posts for more information.)
If when you are making a room reservation for the Conference, you are told that the SKM Room Block is filled, do not make a reservation at the higher room rate. Instead, contact SKM ASAP to let us know. We will immediately get in touch with our contact at the Embassy Suites. Usually, hotels are willing to increase the Room Block at the same price.
We will then get back in touch with you to let you know, and we shall post the “all clear” in a blog update. You can send an email to me to— James@StoneKingdom.org. Please put ROOM BLOCK in the subject line and include your phone number. I will be keeping an eye out for the subject line.
