Join us for a clear-eyed, conviction-filled gathering for pastors and church leaders who are asking a real question: how do we move the church forward in today’s environment without losing what matters most?
This year’s conference centers on leadership, theology, vitality, and practical ministry for the church right now. Anchored by the tested and clear teaching of Albert Mohler—a voice that understands both the current culture and the conviction needed in the Church today.

The church is navigating cultural pressure, leadership transitions, ministry fatigue, and generational change.
Church Forward is not about chasing trends. It is about faithful leadership, clear theology, and actionable wisdom for the road ahead.
This conference brings together hundreds of pastors, wives, ministry leaders, and future church leaders to think, pray, learn, and move forward together.
Pre-conference and in-conference workshops are designed for real ministry challenges and real churches.
Details coming soon.
