Pastors Conference · National Baptist Convention of America, International, Inc.
Healthy pastors build healthy churches.
Free registration · Three full days
A three-day intensive designed for the pastor who wants to build a church that lasts, protect their own health, and preach with power in a changing world. Each day stands alone but builds toward one outcome: pastors who are equipped, encouraged, and effective.
Three days. One calling.
Tuesday · The Church That Runs
Henry Tolbert
People are attending less but some churches are still growing. Why? It's not anointing. It's infrastructure. Most churches have a hole in the boat — working hard to bring people in the front door while losing them out the back. This day is about plugging the holes: consistency, momentum, and growth even when people don't show up every Sunday.
Wednesday · The Pastor That Lasts
Dr. Joshua P. Smith
More pastors are retiring early than ever before. Churches are closing not because the community doesn't need them, but because the pastor couldn't keep going. This is the day nobody programs but everybody needs — naming burnout, depression, and the weight ministers carry alone. Honest, safe, no shame in the room.
Thursday · The Word That Sticks
Dr. Marvin T. Smith
The next generation listens differently. They're Googling your Scripture while you're preaching it. AI can summarize your sermon before you finish the second point. So how do you preach in a way that lands? This day is about preaching that people remember Monday morning, not just Sunday.
