We are living in a time of rapid change and seemingly unending tumult. It is getting tougher and tougher to be a good leader who holds fast to the Word of truth, is spiritually sensitive, able to give sound counsel and remains mentally and emotionally healthy… or at least it seems like it’s tougher. The cultural headwinds we face haven’t eased any, and many in our congregations are being pulled in different, contrary directions. The difficulty of the challenges, however, do not negate the call we have to reach the lost, disciple those in the church, and bear witness in countless ways to the light and life we have in Christ. We need to be reminded that we have a secure hope, a hope that steadies us in the choppy waters we find ourselves in.

Ŕ¶Ý®ĘÓƵ, in close partnership with Talbot School of Theology, is hosting the Anchored Conference on June 9-11, 2025. We aim to refresh and renew pastors, ministry leaders and ministry teams in the unshakeable hope that the gospel brings. The conference will bring together speakers from various disciplinary backgrounds to address pressing concerns that ministry leaders face today, but all from the shared conviction that our hope is anchored in Christ.
