Dear Church Leader,
I know that you have a burden to see Christ magnified and his gospel spread in and through your church and throughout Southern California. But pastoral ministry is tough and sometimes discouraging. We could all use some meaningful encouragement from outside our church. I know I need it.
Most pastors are discouraged by the lack of spiritual health among their people. The 9Marks Shepherd LA Conference (June 2022) prayerfully aims to inspire and connect LA pastors and church leaders so that you’re clear on the next steps toward church health.
Join Mark Dever, Jonathan Leeman, Bobby Scott, P. J. Tibayan, and many more So Cal pastors and church leaders on June 9-10, 2022 as we think about critical marks of a healthy church.
Though the Bible teaches that local churches are the display of the gospel you are burdened to see only a few healthy churches in LA. And they’re largely disconnected. We want to connect likeminded LA pastors so that more healthy churches are shepherded, supported, and strengthened for LA.
So will you come on June 9-10 to inspire and connect with other LA pastors and church leaders for greater church health in LA? I pray you will. Register today.
For Christ and his churches in L. A.,
