MARCH 10-12, 2025 | NATCHEZ, MS

Often, pastors are so busy caring for the needs of the church, others, and the community that their personal needs go unattended and unmet.

While ministry and mission certainly rest upon the pastor’s heart, several scriptures encourage ministers to take heed unto themselves (rf. Acts 20:28; 1 Timothy 4:16). To TAKE HEED is to pay attention, take care, guard yourself, and watch out. Pastors should do this not only for their spiritual health but also for their personal, professional, and physical well-being.

This conference will empower pastors to see the ministry of self-care, the preservation of their families, and the management of their legacies as honorable, biblical, and practical expectations that live in tandem with the calling to preach. Experts and industry professionals will join pastors to discuss how to manage some of those areas that are less well stewarded.
