Pastor Renewal Retreat
Pastor Renewal Retreat: Pastoring Your Own Heart
with Mark Batterson
Worship Leader, Michael O'Brien
May 29-31, 2024
“Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them” (Romans 12:6, ESV). Scripture encourages us to use our gifts for God’s glory. But how can we lead our congregations in a way that continuously honors Him—without leaving us burnt out and exhausted? Come find renewal in your own personal walk and be encouraged to grow in areas of culture, communication, decision making, and influencing today’s culture with the truth of the Gospel.
