The highlight of the year for our Baptist pastors
Pastors Gathering is back this year and better than ever. Bring your teams and hit the reset button by joining us in the beautiful Adelaide Hills.
We have invited Beth and Darrell Jackson to share with us over the 2-day gathering. Beth is the Head of Ordination at the Baptist Union of Victoria, while Darrell is the Principal at Whitley College. Both bring years of ministry insights, experiences and encouragement.
We’ll connect, share meals (including dinner at The Haus this year!), activities and pray together.
We’ll also hear from Melinda Cousins, and some of the team from the BCSANT Support Office.
We encourage you to make Pastors Gathering a priority and carve out time for you, your team, interns and other ministry staff from your church.
We look forward to seeing you there!
