General Pastoral 2026 Conference Dates: May 4-6, 2026

2026 Conference Dates: May 4-6, 2026

Topic and Speakers:

Rev. Dr. Ken Schurb and Rev. Dr. Dale Meyer

In addition to expanding to two main speakers, we will add two new features to the conference, “Rejoice with Me Brothers” and “Bear One Another’s Burdens” (Romans 12:15 and Galatians 6:2). Seven pastors will be selected beforehand to share the joys of their ministry with the group, so that we may celebrate together God’s gracious work among us. There will also be an opportunity to discuss challenges in small groups and so bear one another’s burdens and lift one another up.
