PASTOR'S LEADERSHIP DAY

R.R. Hodges Chapel & Auditorium

Cost: $29

REGISTER HERE

This year, we are excited to partner with Tragedy into Triumph for a special Pastor’s Leadership Day designed to encourage and equip pastors and ministry leaders. The day will include a dedicated leadership session, dinner on campus, and an evening worship service featuring Carey Nieuwhof, who will share his personal story of burnout and the season when, despite experiencing tremendous outward success in ministry, his inner world began to fall apart. Through his story, attendees will be encouraged to care for their souls, recognize their limits, and pursue a healthy and sustainable life in ministry.(opens in new tab)
