We've found that pastors and their families need encouragement. To this end, we regularly host complimentary half-day pastors gatherings in communities throughout the country at which we bring together local pastors and their spouses for a brief time of fellowship with one another and solid affirmation from our Pastoral Ministries staff.
Featured speaker H.B. London shares insights gained from our extensive contact with pastors and denominations throughout the years. Attendees discover that their experiences and feelings in ministry are much more common than they often realize. A free continental breakfast is available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m., and the seminar begins at 8:50 a.m.
The following upcoming events are now scheduled. If you are interested in attending one in your area, please click the button below or call 1-800-A-FAMILY (1-800-232-6459) to make a reservation. For more information, call 1-866-542-1212.
A pastor from California writes:
There aren't too many places (outside my home) where I really feel that someone cares about me (not about what I can do for them or buy from them). At the pastors gathering, I felt Focus cared. You were givers, not takers. You had no hidden agenda for caring. Thank you.
A pastor and wife from Indiana tell us:
I greatly appreciated the gathering. I returned with a greater understanding of Focus on the Family as well as the feeling this ministry was designed to minister to the minister. My wife and I were impressed that nobody tried to "sneak" in an offering. Thanks!
A pastor from Pennsylvania shares these words:
The seminar in Pittsburgh was just what I needed for this time in my ministry. I thank God for Focus on the Family and their willingness to share helpful resources even at no cost. I appreciated your words. They were right on target.
