Pastoral Wisdom for a Confused Church | February 3–5, 2025
Register Here

As the very foundations that bring stability to society are quickly eroding, there is little doubt that we are living in turbulent days. As a result of all this cultural upheaval, the church finds itself facing increasingly difficult shepherding issues to navigate. Days like these demand great wisdom and careful discernment in church leadership. We need wisdom to shepherd our churches through theological error, our elders through leadership difficulties, our people through rising opposition, and our own hearts through the biblical perspectives needed to face all these challenges! We are looking forward to another year of riveting teaching, rich panel discussions, and encouraging fellowship together! For more information, please watch this year’s video from Pastor Jerry Wragg. Below is the lineup of main speakers and session titles: 

  • Session 1 “Wisdom in Ministerial Graces” – Dr. Jerry Wragg, Senior Pastor of Grace Immanuel Bible Church and President of The Expositors Seminary in Jupiter, FL
  • Session 2 “Wisdom in Theological Controversy” – Dr. Dave Doran, Senior Pastor of Inter-City Baptist Church and President of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary in Allen Park, MI
  • Session 3 “Wisdom for the Hard Cases” – Dr. Richard Caldwell, Senior Pastor of Founders Baptist Church in Spring, TX
  • Session 4 “Wisdom for Cultural Hostility” – Dr. Rick Holland, senior pastor of Mission Road Bible Church in Prairie Village, KS
  • Session 5 “Wisdom for Close Range Shepherding” – Dr. Jerry Wragg

Please look at the conference schedule as we have made some changes that will affect your travel plans. It is important to note that in previous years we offered post-conference intensives as an add-on to the conference; however, this year we have built those intensives into the main conference schedule. Attendees will choose among multiple intensives each afternoon of the conference. We are nearly finished with the intensive lineup, and as soon as we finalize them, we will post all the session titles and speaker names.

Housing with our church families during the conference is available on a limited basis through the registration process.
