‘For His Glory’
The New Pastors Conference
The first few years in Pastoral ministry are often thrilling and demanding. God sends many challenges to both humble and
excite you in His service. One moment you feel overwhelmed by the difficulties the next it’s the sheer privilege of seeing
Christ work through your ministry and it’s all part of a days work for God’s servants. These are formative years - years that
mould your thinking and character as a man of God for future service. They are also years when the friends you make may
be some of the greatest encouragements for your future ministry.
This conference is the opportunity to be refreshed by fellowship and ministry with those who
understand the challenges you are facing.

Conference aims:
To encourage, motivate and prepare pastors for a lifetime of ministry
To build lasting supportive friendships and relationships
To explore and develop our motivation for ministry
To increase our vision of God, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit
