A b o u t t h e O r g a n i s e r s

The KVBC Trust (formerly known as the Kuala Lumpur Christian Conference) is best known for organising the

annual Klang Valley Bible Conference (KVBC) and the associated Expository Preaching Seminars (EPS). The

ministry has now expanded to Ipoh (Ipoh Bible Conference and Expository Preaching Seminars) and Penang

(Penang Bible Conference and Expository Preaching Seminars).

The KVBC Trust was formed in 1997 with a single purpose: to encourage godliness through expository Bible

teaching.

In 1999, the KVBC Trust together with Evangel Book Centre, organised the first Klang Valley Bible Conference

(KVBC). This conference has since become an annual event with preachers such as Don Carson, David Cook,

David Jackman, Bryan Chappel, Mike Raiter and John Woodhouse expounding God's Word. Expository

Preaching Seminars (EPS), aimed at pastors, preachers and teachers, have been organised in conjunction

with KVBC since 2001. Each year, EPS seeks to encourage and strengthen Christian leaders in an aspect of

expository preaching.

In 2009, we held our first Expository Preaching Seminars in Ipoh and Penang. In 2010, the Penang Bible

Conference was launched and in 2011, the first Ipoh Bible Conference was launched.
