SUMMARY:North and East Pastors Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:As Christians\, we are a people who are “in the world\, but not of the world.” As the nation around us continues to embrace a culture of death\, how can we learn from the example of Elijah to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and stand firm in our faith as people of God\, the author and giver of life? At this conference\, we will examine the life of Elijah\, the message that he preached to a nation straying from God\, and be comforted that the Word of the Lord endures forever. We will also be studying current life issues and how to speak clearly on important cultural matters. Join us!

SUMMARY:South and East Pastors Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:In Scripture\, the wilderness is a place of trials and temptations. Many times the wilderness is where God’s people are tempted to feel forgotten and forsaken. Yet in that same wilderness we find some of the greatest examples of God’s provision and mercy. Let’s gather as brothers in Christ and be refreshed by God’s Word and each other’s presence\, as we are reminded that God is with us.

SUMMARY:West Pastors Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes it is about Elijah’s mountain (1 Kings 19:11–12). Sometimes it is about a valley. But always it is about a “low whisper” that overcomes the pandemonium and noise of the world. Throughout humanity’s broken history\, there have been those called to live in a relationship with their Creator. Patriarchs\, prophets\, apostles\, and pastors give voice to the eternal promise first made in Genesis 3. The Lord is not in the thunderous storm or in the violence of an earthquake or the destructive heat of a fire. Rather\, He speaks through His servants in the “low whisper” of the Gospel. You are not alone! Join us as we encourage one another.

SUMMARY:Snow Tire Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:We are looking forward to our time together in Frankenmuth for the annual Snow Tire Conference. Let’s hope this year we have a little less snow than last February! Besides our usual fellowship\, Bible study\, and hearing from the MANS leadership and licensing changes\, we will have Chris McKenna from Protect Young Eyes with us to unpack the book Anxious Generation. It should provide for some great discussion as we talk about the issues this next generation is facing. We hope you can join us for a blessed couple of days!

SUMMARY:We Are Not Alone
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever felt isolated in your walk with Jesus? Have you felt like the Church is in decline and your congregation is shrinking and struggling? \nMaybe you’ve experienced the weight of Elijah’s words: “The Israelites have rejected your covenant\, torn down your altars\, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left\, and now they are trying to kill me too” (1 Kings 19:10b NIV). \nWe all have moments of doubt and despair\, especially when we feel like we’re standing alone. But just as God assured Elijah\, “I have reserved 7\,000 in Israel who have not bowed down to Baal\,” He reminds us that we are never truly alone. There are countless brothers and sisters in Christ—many more than we realize—who are also committed to the work of the Gospel. \nIf you’re looking for encouragement\, spiritual renewal\, and practical ways to connect with others in ministry\, don’t miss this year’s Theological Conference\, titled “We Are Not Alone.” Join us as we discover the power of community in the body of Christ. \nYou are not alone.

SUMMARY:Ministry Specialist Conference
DESCRIPTION:The world wants you to think that\, unless you achieve one great thing—land the perfect job\, find your soul mate\, check every box on your bucket list\, or find your “capital C” calling—you have failed. Join us as Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Leininger leads us to the assurance that God is at work in and through the lives of His people in their everyday choices\, actions\, and relationships. We will explore how we can encourage\, lead\, and teach the people we serve to walk every day in the confidence of the vocation to which God has led them\, not because of who any of us is individually\, but because of who we are in Him. \n“I appeal to you therefore\, brothers\, by the mercies of God\, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice\, holy and acceptable to God\, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world\, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind\, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God\, what is good and acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12:1–2).

SUMMARY:All Pastors Conference - 2024
DESCRIPTION:In a world marked by divisions and discord\, the theme of reconciliation holds profound significance for us all. The words of the Apostle Paul to the Colossians have timeless relevance as we strive to bridge the divides in our communities and even within our own congregations. We will explore the depth of this reconciliation\, understanding that it is not just between individuals\, but it extends to all things on earth and in heaven; that we are fully reconciled through Christ. Join us as we explore how we can bring the message of reconciliation to a world in desperate need of healing.
