The 2024 Lifetime of Ministry Conference

Pastors can struggle to find places of rest and sources of encouragement in challenging seasons. The Lifetime of Ministry Conference is intended to offer a retreat, reprieve, and rest for pastors and their spouses as you joyfully prepare for the next season of ministry. 

Join us October 16–17, 2024 on the campus of Covenant Theological Seminary.
