With a focus on legacy\, participants will explore key principles and personal insights that shape how ministry is led today and remembered tomorrow. \nThe Wounded HealerRev. Andy Ehlers\, Senior Pastor – Hide Tide ChurchIn a world where pastors are expected to be strong and unshaken\, where do we go with our wounds\, brokenness\, and suffering? This breakout explores how God uses our own pain—not in spite of it\, but through it—to bring healing to others. Through wisdom gleaned from Scripture and real life experience\, this session invites you to embrace a redemptive vision of ministry where healing and leadership flow from the same sacred place. \nLeading from the Second ChairRev. Jeremy Dickson – BCM/DThis session explores the unique challenges and opportunities of serving in a supporting leadership role. Designed for those who lead without being the lead pastor\, it offers space to consider how to lead with excellence\, influence\, and integrity from where you are.

The demands of ministry make it difficult to find a healthy rhythm of life and work\, and can leave you running on empty.“I don’t know if I can keep up this pace anymore.” \n“I am on the verge of just walking away.” \n“The pressure has reached a breaking point.” \nIf you have felt this way you are not alone. \nWe welcome you to our Pastoral Formation Community. Pastor\, author\, and artist Ronnie Martin and BCM/D Director of Formation and Health\, Dan Hyun\, will provide perspectives and practices that will lead to newfound flourishing in your life and ministry. You’ll learn to develop a sustainable pattern of ministry that both honors the Lord and the people you care for while guarding you from burnout. \nOur cohort-based approach blends some teaching but will primarily be oriented around connection with one another with two half-day retreats (February 19 and May 21) that bookend shorter regionally based gatherings throughout March and April. Together we’ll explore practices that restore attentiveness to God and people: crafting sane schedules\, shepherding from identity rather than insecurity\, leading from prayerful presence\, and building friendships that sustain the long haul. \nCheck out more details including the regional dates and locations below. Space is intentionally limited so register soon to hold your spot. \nIf you’re tired of measuring ministry by speed and volume\, come learn to do less—and accomplish more of what actually matters. Your soul\, your family\, and your church will notice the difference. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n February Retreat\n Date: February 19\, 2026\, 9:30AM – 3PM \nLocation: South Shore Church \nKick off the Pastoral Formation Community with our first half-day retreat. Join Ronnie Martin and Dan Hyun as we take an honest look at the pace of ministry and what it means to lead from strength and stability. This opening session lays the groundwork for developing habits that help you stay steady and effective for the long haul. \n \n \n \n \n \n Regional Meetups — March\n Connect with other pastors in your region for a time of conversation\, encouragement\, and sharpening. These smaller gatherings build on February’s retreat and give space to talk about real challenges in ministry with brothers who understand the weight of the work. \nMarch 5: Weems Creek Church\, 600 N Bestgate Rd\, Annapolis\, MD 21401 \nMarch 10: Bethlehem Church\, 900 Bowleys Quarters Rd\, Baltimore\, MD 21220 \nMarch 12: FBC Laurel\, 15000 First Baptist Ln\, Laurel\, MD 20707 \nMarch 14: Virtual (9-10am) \nMarch 19: Paramount Baptist Church\, 13234 Marsh Pike\, Hagerstown\, MD 21742 \nMarch 24: Virtual (9-10am) \n \n \n \n \n \n Regional Meetups — April\n Take another step in the journey toward healthy\, sustainable ministry.

This encounter led him to embark on a journey to discover God’s purpose for his life\, ultimately answering the call to preach the gospel. He pursued theological education at Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas\, Texas\, where he earned a Master of Theology degree in Pastoral Leadership. Additionally\, he holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Cheyney State University. \nRicky Wilson\, together with his wife\, children\, and a dedicated group of believers\, planted Christian Faith Fellowship\, a church located in Chester County\, Pennsylvania. Ricky serves as the Senior Pastor of the church\, guiding and shepherding the congregation. \nPastor Wilson currently serves as an International Missions Board Trustee for the Southern Baptist Convention. \nRecently\, he founded Africa Partnership with a clear vision to strengthen local churches across the African continent through education\, evangelism\, edification\, and economic development. Africa Partnership is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that has been working in Africa for over 22 years in 14 countries focused on providing support for local churches and leaders. Africa Partnership strengthens local churches\, empowers leaders\, and plants new congregations through training\, discipleship\, and resource support. \nPastor Wilson and his beloved wife\, Shirley\, are the proud parents of two sons\, Philip Jordan and the late Michael Jonathan. Their family stands as a testament to their love\, faith\, and dedication to their calling in ministry. \nEssential Piece Ministries International (EPMI)\, led by Pastor and Sis Keiffer and Martha Bent \nIn 2000\, Essential Piece Ministries International was founded by Keiffer and Martha Bent. EPMI grew out of a love of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. We observed an urgency for the gospel. The need continues to grow worldwide. \nWe now serve locally and internationally as short-term missionaries.  Our first mission trip as a family was to Antigua.  After returning we continued to work in full-time ministry in Maryland. Our focus is to share the gospel\, to train and equip through evangelism\, discipleship and training. \nFrom 2006 to present\, EPMI has served locally and internationally. We are Mission focused (Mathew 28:19-20).  We are thankful for the opportunities we have had to share the gospel\, give bibles\, evangelistic booklets and pamphlets\, leading Bible studies and mobilizing the church.  In North America\, India\, Taiwan\, China\, Philippines\, South African and Central Africa\, We want people to know\, and experience Jesus\, as Lord and Savior through: Evangelism\, Discipleship Training. \nCurrently\, we are focused on expanding our outreach work on a broader scale. One of the specific goals is to help pastors\, and lay leaders internationally to be more equipped. If they are more equipped\, they can better share the gospel effectively\, teach their families\, and congregation. They can better develop disciples in their local areas. Additionally\, we will expand our work in Evangelism and training in more countries. Additionally\, adding English as a Second Language (ESL) ministry\, hosting  Bibles studies\, and discipleship training locally and globally. \nWe trust the Lord and all the needed resources:  working under the power of the Holy Spirit\, prayer\, God’s labors\, and financial support. In order for the ministry to continue to thrive and grow. There is an urgent need for the gospel to be proclaimed. (John 3:16). \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Breakfast & Guest Choir\n Breakfast will be served buffet style consisting of: Scrambled Eggs\, Grits\, hash brown potatoes\, pork bacon\, pork & turkey Sausage\, bread & butter w/ jelly\, pancakes w/ Syrup. Juices\, milk\, fruit\, and an assortment of Danishes. \nThe event will also include a special musical selection by The Washington DC Choral Union. \n \n \n \n \n \n BCM/D’s AAF introduces George Liele Offering\n We will introduce the George Liele Fund that will be used to support African American Pastors and congregations who are involved with international missions. \nEach participant will receive a fund envelope and a memento of George Liele (magnet\, book marker\, coffee cup\, etc.).
