Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. Acts 20:28 (NIV)

When the Apostle Paul sent for the Ephesian elders to meet him in Miletus (Acts 20), he reminded them of the necessity to “keep watch” over their flocks, but to also keep watch over themselves. The Shepherding conference is designed with both those in mind.

We have a great lineup this year as usual with a surprise or two thrown in as well. Make plans today to join us.
