Feed My Sheep

Feed My Sheep is a humble effort to bring pastors and church leaders together to foster friendship, partnership, and mutual encouragement.

A free lunch as well as snacks and coffee will be provided throughout the day (gluten free options will be available). We also plan to give away a number of good books to the first 165 conference attendees who register!
