Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS) is thrilled to announce that its nationwide Story of Scripture experience is coming to the greater Dayton, Ohio area Friday, October 3 and Saturday, October 4th, 2025.

The Story of Scripture is a unique event in which Dr. Mark Yarbrough, president of the seminary, and other leading speakers present a two-day conference that immerses attendees in the major themes that weave all of Scripture together from Genesis through Revelation. But more importantly, the experience helps attendees understand their part in God’s great plan of redemption.

“The Scripture is pretty clear that God makes promises and keeps them,” says Dr. Yarbrough. “He reveals those promises in the pages of his Word, and offers his assurance to every believer that we can trust him unconditionally with the messiness of life.”

The SOS experience will be hosted at PattersonPark Church 3655 E Patterson Rd, Beavercreek, Ohio. Doors will open at 6:00 PM Friday evening, October, 3rd and the event will conclude around 6:00 PM on Saturday, October 4th. Seating is limited, but there are seats available at this time.

Those interested in attending can register at www.TheStoryofScripture.org,

Lunches, snacks and drinks are included with every registration as well as the conference workbook and many other resources to help attendees go deeper into their journey through God’s grand narrative.

“It is the greatest story ever told,” said Dr.Yarbrough, “and God offers a part in his plan to anyone who will receive it. We truly believe that everyone who attends this event will emerge with a new understanding of God's love for his people. Some will be encouraged in their faith and others will see, for the first time, that God has a unique and divine place for them in his grand narrative.”

Launched in 2016, the Story of Scripture events have been conducted before thousands of people including The BillyGraham Center at The Cove in Asheville, North Carolina, and dozens of churches nationwide.

Dr. Mark Yarbrough began his tenure as the 6th president of Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS) on July 1, 2020, succeeding Dr.Mark Bailey. He has served in a variety of positions at DTS including Research Assistant to the President, Executive Director of Information Technology, Associate Dean for External Education, Vice President for Communications, Academic Dean, and Vice President of Academic Affairs.

His love for the classroom draws him to the Bible Exposition department where he serves as Professor. In addition to leading DTS, he travels extensively leading tours and speaking at conference centers. Mark has recently authored Jonah:Beyond the Tale of a Whale and Tidings of Comfort and Joy. He has been married for thirty years to Jennifer, his high school sweetheart. They have four adult children, one son-in-law, and reside in Sunnyvale, Texas.
