Everyday Pastors Gathering

We are excited to invite you to a unique event designed specifically for small-town and rural church leaders like you! Join us in Gary, South Dakota, in April 2025 for a gathering focused on intentional relationships, creativity, and a spirit of generosity.

Event Highlights:

  • Relational Connections: Engage in meaningful conversations with fellow pastors who share your experiences and challenges.

  • Creative Culture of Generosity: Explore innovative ways to cultivate generosity in your community and beyond.

  • Storytelling and Sharing: Participate in storytelling sessions that foster vulnerability and connection, allowing each of us to learn from one another.

  • Authentic Environment: Enjoy a safe space where you can express your thoughts and experiences without judgment.

  • Learning Together: Everyone will have the opportunity to teach and learn, enriching our collective wisdom.

  • Fun and Adventure: Experience the joy of shared activities that remind us of the commonalities we hold.

  • Rest and Relaxation: Take time to recharge and reflect, surrounded by the beauty of our rural setting.

We believe this gathering will not only strengthen our bonds as pastors but also rejuvenate our spirits as we serve our communities. Mark your calendars and prepare for a transformative experience!

Special Guest - Karl Vaters

Karl has a heart to help pastors of small churches (up to 90 percent of us) find the resources to lead well, and to capitalize on the unique advantages that come with pastoring a small church – something virtually every pastor will spend at least some of their ministry years doing. He also believes that big and small churches can and should work together more often – to the benefit and blessing of everyone. To learn more about Karl Vaters, visit www.karlvaters.com.
