The four founders of T4G –
Albert Mohler ,
Ligon Duncan ,
C. J. Mahaney , and
Mark Dever – during a panel discussion at the inaugural conference in 2006.
Together for the Gospel (T4G ) was a biennial conference for Christian leaders.
[1] It was formed in 2006 by
Mark Dever ,
Ligon Duncan ,
C. J. Mahaney , and
Albert Mohler .
[2] These men were all associated with the
New Calvinism movement although they differed on issues such as
baptism and
charismatic gifts .
[2] The first conference also included
John Piper ,
John F. MacArthur , and
R. C. Sproul as speakers.
[3] The stated aim of the conference was to "encourage and aid ministry leaders with three days of biblical preaching, fellowship, books, and singing."
[4] It was held in
Louisville, Kentucky . Other speakers included
Matt Chandler ,
Kevin DeYoung , and
David Platt .
Mahaney withdrew as a speaker from the 2014 conference due to the
Sovereign Grace Churches sex abuse scandal.
[5] He returned in 2016 but withdrew again in 2018.
[6]
Baptist News Global noted that in 2020 John MacArthur was absent and suggested a possible rift over social justice issues: MacArthur had signed the
Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel but Al Mohler had not.
[7] The 2020 conference was held online due to the
COVID-19 pandemic .
In 2021, Mohler left the group and Dever and Duncan subsequently announced that the 2022 conference would be the last.
