The term "conference" does not appear as a specific concept or word in most biblical texts. However, it can be understood in the context of gatherings, assemblies, or meetings among believers or leaders for the purpose of seeking God's guidance, making decisions, or fostering unity. In the Old Testament, such gatherings are often reflected in the councils of elders or leaders who came together to discuss matters of law, governance, or worship (e.g., Exodus 18:13-27, where Jethro advises Moses on how to handle disputes among the people).In the New Testament, the early church held meetings to pray, discuss doctrine, and resolve issues, as seen in Acts 15, where the Jerusalem Council convened to address the question of whether Gentile believers should be required to follow Jewish law. This assembly exemplifies the importance of coming together in prayer and deliberation to seek consensus and divine will. Thus, while "conference" may not be explicitly mentioned, the biblical principles of unity, counsel, and communal decision-making resonate with the idea of conferences among believers today.
