About The Conference

This Pastors & Leaders Conference is an annual gathering dedicated to empowering church and ministry leaders to excel in their God-given callings. This year’s theme, “Kingdom Pursuit of Excellence,” is more than just an idea—it is a call to action for all passionate about elevating their spiritual, personal, and organizational leadership.

In a world that constantly demands more from those in spiritual leadership, pursuing excellence is not an option… it’s a necessity. This conference is designed to provide you with the tools, insights, and inspiration needed to rise to new levels of effectiveness in ministry. Through dynamic teaching, practical workshops, and meaningful networking opportunities, we aim to equip you to lead with integrity, vision, and impact.

Join Dr. Alphonso Jackson, Sr. so many more January 15-17, 2025 as we explore what it means to pursue excellence in every aspect of ministry, from preaching and pastoral care to community engagement and church administration. Whether you are a seasoned leader or just beginning your journey, this conference will challenge you to elevate your influence and embrace the pursuit of excellence as a lifelong commitment. Together, let’s inspire our communities, transform lives, and glorify God through outstanding service and leadership.
