A New Season of Leadership Development
Join ministry leaders from across the Southeastern District for a renewed season of encouragement, connection, and growth!
Our One Day Leadership Conferences have moved to the spring—a season of renewal and ministry momentum.
This year’s theme, “Speaking the Truth in Love” (Ephesians 4:11–16), calls us to grow together in unity and purpose as we serve the Church and one another.
Whether you’re a pastor, teacher, lay leader, or ministry volunteer, this conference is designed to equip and encourage you for your unique role in God’s mission.
