The Pastor Conference

January 25–27, 2027
Louisville, KY

The Pastor.

Eugene Peterson described The Pastor as a person who

Prays
Reads scripture
Gives spiritual direction

Three acts that are so basic, and so critical, that they determine the shape of everything else.

How do we navigate this high calling while remaining faithful to Jesus, the care of others, and the well being of our souls?

Join us for The Pastor Conference.

By pastors, for pastors.

To be reminded of our true calling
To find encouragement for our souls
To experience life giving fellowship

To pray.

And be renewed for the work of Jesus in a weary world.
