2025 Pastors' Seminar - Fulfill Your Ministry: The Necessity of Pastoral Endurance

"As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."

2 Timothy 4:5

Shepherding a church is rewarding work. It is also hard work.

The apostle Paul understood this. You can hear it in his words to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4. That’s why the apostle encourages Timothy to “endure suffering” and “fulfill his ministry.” If you are a staff pastor or lay elder we hope that you will join us for this seminar on July 29 as we consider the challenges that must be faced to endure in ministry. These include pastoring through transitions and trials, as well as shepherding your own family well through it all. As we meet, our goal is to provide encouragement to faithful leaders to fulfill their ministry and finish well.
