Welcome to the 2023 Pastor's Conference
Our theme Faithful Men is drawn from 2 Timothy 2:2, “what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.” Pastors minister in a world of increasing ministerial complexity and at times all the “to-do’s” can be overwhelming.
At the core of pastoral ministry, however, is a call to faithfulness: in preaching the word, in prayer, in suffering for Christ, and in his personal character. Everything else is secondary (or tertiary, or quaternary…) Our schedule is built around two main things: hearing faithful and encouraging preaching, and deliberate times of table fellowship with other pastors. You will be refreshed and encouraged.
