Worship Connect is a regional conference spearheaded by Council of Eighteen members Pastor Will Hatfield and Pastor Jon Jenks, designed to bring local church ministry teams together. Attend and enjoy . . .

  • passionately worshiping the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
  • building better connections with Midwest pastors, and
  • sharpening ministry skills with practical projects that will impact ministries now.

Sponsors include Campus Baptist Church, Ames, Iowa; Calvary Baptist Church, Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.; Calvary Baptist Church, Rochester, Minn.; First Baptist Church, Silvis, Ill.; and the GARBC. See the brochure and register now!

You’ve Got a Friend (Cohort)!
Let’s face it, ministry can be lonely. It helps to have a supportive group of friends. Through online pastoral cohort sessions, you can connect with ministry colleagues who understand the challenges and joys of pastoral ministry. Begin the new year by joining a cohort session. E-mail John Greening to learn more.
