Healthy Pastors Conference

Pastors, assistant pastors, elders, and even aspiring to be pastors are invited to our first Healthy Pastors Conference. There’s a story that we will share at the conference that gets at what we are trying to do with this gathering. I will share that story later but I hope our story will be that story too.

If we want healthy churches then one of the pieces needed to accomplish that or maintain that is having healthy pastors.We want to fan the flame within them through preaching and singing and fellowship with other pastors.

Consider buying a ticket for your pastor and providing for his travel and stay here in Nashville. Here’s the link to sign up.

Upcoming Fall Sermon Series

Beginning August 25, 2024 we will embark on a journey through the book of Ezra-Nehemiah. This week we will attempt to set the context and see an overview of the entire journey–like looking at a road map before the trip. Right now the plan is to finish before December to begin our Advent series. That means we have 14 Sundays to arrive at our destination. This will be a challenge but the book itself has several challenges too. But, this life has tons of challenges therefore, may the joy of the Lord be our strength!

I’d like to hear if you find the manuscripts beneficial. I’m not sure it’s worth my time and expense to post them. Let me know–my email is pastor@unionhillbaptistchurch.com
