WELCOME

Shepherds' Haven is a Pastor's Conference and online resource ministry created for pastors by pastors. Our mission is to provide genuine fellowship and encouragement as we strive to sharpen exegetical and ministry skills of pastors and church leaders on the battle lines for Jesus Christ. We also seek to provide a haven of rest and support for pastors as they tend and care for God’s sheep. 

We view the Bible as literal and authoritative.   We are committed to knowing and studying the original languages of the Bible. We hold distinctive, dispensational, fundamental Baptist doctrine and practice. We believe in the autonomy of the local church. We believe in Biblical Separation based on the holiness of God. We practice grace, kindness, and love for the brethren. We are committed to the edification of pastors through sound exegesis.

Shepherds' Haven is a Pastor's Conference and online resource ministry created for pastors by pastors. Our mission is to provide genuine fellowship and encouragement as we strive to sharpen exegetical and ministry skills of pastors and church leaders on the battle lines for Jesus Christ. We also seek to provide a haven of rest and support for pastors as they tend and care for God’s sheep. 

 

We invite pastors and church leaders to gather for a time of renewal and deep study in Peter's letters centered on the theme “Our Living Hope.” These letters were written to believers facing pressure, suffering, and cultural hostility. They speak directly to the challenges pastors face today as they shepherd God’s people in an increasingly difficult world.


Through expository skills, practical workshops, and genuine fellowship, attendees will rediscover the transforming power of the gospel that not only saves but sanctifies. From the depths of human sin to the heights of God’s grace, participants will be equipped to lead their congregations in living out the righteousness of Christ day by day.
