2024 Calvin OPC Theology Conference

This year we are pleased to have Dr. Craig Troxel, Robert G. den Dulk Professor of Practical Theology at Westminster Seminary California. His topic this year is based on his book With All Your Heart: Orienting Your Mind, Desires and Will toward Christ which Chad Van Dixhoorn referred to as “a devotional study of the heart that reflects the pulse of the whole Bible.” 

Dr. Troxel has taught at Westminster Seminary California since 2019. In addition, he is currently a part-time associate pastor at Harvest Orthodox Presbyterian Church in nearby San Marcos. Formerly, he served as pastor of Bethel Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Wheaton, Illinois (2007–19) and as pastor of Calvary Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Glenside, Pennsylvania (1995­–2007). His introduction to the ministry was by itinerating in congregations of the Church of God (Anderson, Indiana) in Wasilla and Fairbanks, Alaska. He taught systematic theology as an adjunct at Westminster Theological Seminary and ministerial studies at Mid-America Theological Seminary. He has also served as a faculty member for the Ministerial Training Institute of the OPC since 2002 and is presently a member of the OPC’s Committee on Christian Education. He is a member of the Evangelical Theological Society.

Dr. Troxel has published numerous articles in publications such as Westminster Theological Journal, Presbyterion, Fides et Historia, Calvin Theological Journal, Trinity Journal, Didaktikos, Unio cum Christo as well as New Horizons, Ordained Servant, Tabletalk, and Modern Reformation. He is the author of With All Your Heart: Orienting Your Mind, Desires, and Will Toward Christ (Crossway, 2020); What is Man? (P&R, 2010); and What is the Priesthood of Believers? (P&R, 2019). His research interests include pastoral theology, Reformed spirituality, the doctrine of the church, and biblical teaching on the heart.

Dr. Troxel and his wife, Carol, have five children and five grandchildren.
