“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to keep all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
—Matthew 28:19–20
The Lord commanded His followers to go into all the world and make disciples of every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission remains a chief priority for us as God’s people. Our motivation is the glory of Christ, knowing that God has chosen to save sinners from every tribe, tongue, nation, and people. Our certain hope is that the multitude of the redeemed will one day be gathered around the throne of heaven, reverberating with ceaseless praise to the glorious Lamb.
Shepherds Conference 2025 is focused on this theme, “Proclaiming Christ to the Ends of the Earth.” In keeping with the mission of Shepherds Conference since its inception in 1980, our aim is that this time together would “provide the opportunity for men in church leadership to be challenged in their commitment to biblical ministry and to find encouragement together as servants of our Chief Shepherd.” Our speakers this year will address topics that equip men in leadership with rich truths that expound on the global power of God through the gospel.
As a church, we have an exciting opportunity to steward this conference in support of the many shepherds who visit us every year—pastors and church leaders from around the world who are tasked with leading His people in our time and leaving an impact for the next generation.
We remind you to prayerfully consider serving at Shepherds Conference. Above all, please continue to pray that this conference would honor Jesus Christ by equipping each attendee with the courage to stand firm in service of Christ and His church.
