Given recent events, we would like to inform registrants and those considering joining us that we are closely monitoring the regional situation and are still planning to move forwards with the conference from May 26-30th. We will continue to keep registrants posted via email and social media as the date approaches. For more information, see our FAQs, which we will be updating regularly with answers about travel, safety, refunds, and registration. We still encourage registrations and look forward to welcoming you to Bethlehem this May.

Christ at the Checkpoint (May 26-30, “Kingdom Ethics in the Face of War and Genocide”) is the flagship conference of the Bethlehem Institute for Peace and Justice at Bethlehem Bible College. The conference gathers Christians from around the world to dive deeply into questions of faith, peace, and justice with guidance and teaching from Palestinian Christians. At a dark moment in history, CATC offers a biblically grounded and culturally rich space for honest engagement, faithful discipleship, and global solidarity rooted in Jesus and his teaching. We invite you to join us in person this year as a powerful act of presence and solidarity, bearing witness to shared faith and hope as we seek Christ at the checkpoint.
