Breakouts
Leading with Legacy in MindRev. Bucas Sterling III, Senior Pastor – Kettering Baptist Church Legacy CenterThis breakout invites senior pastors to reflect on the long-term impact of their leadership. With a focus on legacy, participants will explore key principles and personal insights that shape how ministry is led today and remembered tomorrow.
The 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.
Leading 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. Whether you’re navigating vision, communication, or team dynamics, this conversation will encourage and equip you to lead faithfully from the seat you occupy.
The Heart, Head, and Hands of MobilizationRev. Jamie Caldwell – Send NetworkThis breakout will help pastors clarify a Christlike focus on mobilization by providing a church-wide framework for discerning, discovering, developing, and deploying leaders from the harvest for the harvest.
Rooted and Renewed: Spiritual Practices that Sustain Pastoral LifeDr. Ron Blankenship – DOM, Montgomery Baptist AssociationRev. Victor Kirk – Senior Pastor, Sharon Bible Fellowship ChurchDr. Joel Rainey – Senior Pastor, Covenant ChurchJoin us to explore the personal spiritual formation practices that ground and sustain pastors amid the demands of ministry and life. Our panel of experienced practitioners will share rhythms, disciplines, and habits that help them remain connected to Christ and lead from a place of spiritual vitality.

Pastor Formation Cohort
2026-02-19
Pastoring is not a 9-to-5 job.
There is an unending list of important things to do as you seek to serve others sacrificially. 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.”
“I am on the verge of just walking away.”
“The pressure has reached a breaking point.”
If you have felt this way you are not alone.
We 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.
Our 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.
Check out more details including the regional dates and locations below. Space is intentionally limited so register soon to hold your spot.
If 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.
