Registration Details

The annual Black Church Leadership and Family Conference is three events in one: leadership development conference, spiritual retreat, and family vacation in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.

Whether you are a pastor, pastor’s spouse, ministry leader, or church member, God has called you to lead fearlessly in the work of His Kingdom. Black Church Leadership and Family Conference is designed to encourage, equip, and inspire you.

Bring your family and as many church leaders and members as possible for an unforgettable week together.
