Equipped for His Work

Our pastors and churches are facing crises unlike any we've seen before. Pastors are discouraged and depressed, and our churches are declining. Free Will Baptists are even facing the reality of a pastoral shortage. We need to be equipped to face these difficult times.

Register for the 2021 Leadership Conference, to be held December 6-7 at the Sonesta Nashville Airport (formerly Marriott).

Dr. Thom Rainer will return as the keynote speaker for the Monday and Tuesday evening sessions. Tuesday will be filled with seminars by FWB pastors and other leaders focusing on the 3 for 30 Initiative: Reach, Train, and Give.
