History
The Mid-America Conference on Preaching (MACP) began in 1991 because we saw a great need for training in faithful, expository preaching. Over the years the conference has become known for its precise handling of tough issues, scholarly workshops, vibrant worship, and refreshing fellowship.
Now as the E3 Pastors Conference, we hope it will continue to serve pastors nationwide by equipping them to better shepherd God’s people, by helping them engage with important issues and ideas, and by encouraging them through expository preaching and fellowship.
