Are you a leader, or are you a shepherd? If you are a pastor, the answer must be “both.” Leadership is not optional in pastoral ministry—it is essential. The pastor is called to lead God’s people through seasons of change, uncertainty, and conflict with clarity, conviction, and courage. He must not shrink back when the winds of culture shift or when division threatens the unity of the church. He must lead with biblical wisdom, grounded in truth and guided by love. He must be a man of conviction who knows when to stand firm and when to patiently bear with the weak. In times of change and conflict, the church needs pastors who lead not by worldly strategies, but by the Word of God. Join us for this year’s conference as we seek to strengthen and equip pastors to lead faithfully in turbulent times—for the glory of Christ and the good of His church.
