All pastors and church leaders are invited to join us on Friday, August 28th for Send Network Iowa One Day at First Family Church in Ankeny, Iowa.
This year’s gathering features two nationally respected leaders who have spent decades serving pastors and strengthening churches. Tony Merida, founding pastor of Imago Dei Church and Vice President of Planter Development for Send Network, will lead the Preaching Track, offering practical encouragement for faithfully proclaiming God’s Word. Brian Croft, founder of Practical Shepherding and one of the leading voices on pastoral care and church health, will lead the Pastoring Track, equipping pastors to shepherd their people with wisdom and endurance.
It’s uncommon to have leaders of this caliber together in Iowa for a full day of teaching, encouragement, and practical ministry training.
Whether you’re a pastor, church planter, elder, ministry leader, or serve on a church staff, this day is designed to strengthen you for the work God has called you to do. In addition to the Preaching Track and Shepherding Track, there will also be a Women’s Track and Hispanic Track so there will be focused equipping for leaders in every ministry context.
We hope you’ll join us. Visit the event page to learn more and register today!
