Each of us may serve the Lord in different ways, according to the gifts and callings He has given us. However, we all share a common need: to be encouraged by the Lord and by one another in our various callings. Join us for a time of ENCOURAGEMENT at Best Practices for Ministry—Heartland!
We are excited for you to attend along with an estimated 400 conference attendees! Come prepared for time in worship, learning and sharing centered around our theme “Encouragement in Our Callings”
