Senior Pastors have unique struggles, unique pressures, unique challenges and unique opportunities. In an effort to help Senior Pastors address vital issues in our culture—both personally and in the church—the West Florida District Council has prepared a series of seminars that are designed for the senior pastor’s unique position in the community and the world.

These sessions provide opportunities for learning, interaction, fellowship, and team-building. With a wide variety of topics, this series will make an impact on your ministry and your life. If you are a senior pastor, look through the sessions offered and attend these relevant seminars in 2020:
