2026 Summit Woods Baptist Church Weekender
OVERVIEW
In partnership with 9Marks, Summit Woods Baptist Church is hosting an opportunity where pastors, church leaders and future church leaders, can observe and discuss biblical and practical dynamics of nurturing love and holiness in a local church. During this Weekender, numerous targeted sessions will be offered on topics ranging from charting church change to missions, church planting, and so much more. You can expect to have several immersive experiences into the life of the church from observing an elder meeting, membership class, and member’s meeting to attending the Sunday gathering and equipping classes. There will also be discussion and display on how they seek to develop ministry leaders and preachers.
The Weekender is a great opportunity for church leaders to take some time away to observe and wrestle through what they might implement in their own ministry context. The prayer is that this Weekender will assist churches in growing to be healthier for years to come. It is also a great way to pour into future leaders, interns, and ministry residents while taking a deep dive into all things ecclesiology.

Him We Proclaim Preaching Conference
OVERVIEW
Him We Proclaim is a one-day preaching conference for all who preach or teach God’s Word designed to encourage and refresh all who attend as they gather with others engaged in the same great labor and hear faithful, Christ-exalting preaching. The hope is that each participant leaves better equipped to carry out the high calling of preaching and teaching the Scriptures. This conference is designed to be part preaching, part theology of preaching, and part practical nuts and bolts for those who labor in the Word.
The theme of this year’s conference is Christ-Centered Exposition. In John 5, Jesus says, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me.” This conference will explore how all of Scripture truly bears witness to Christ and how to faithfully put Him on display from every text. Some sessions will focus on developing a Christ-centered hermeneutic modeled after Jesus and the apostles, while others will feature seasoned preachers showing how they proclaim Christ from particular passages.

Eastern Canada Vision Trip
OVERVIEW
The Eastern Canada Vision Trip will be a great opportunity to connect with 5 Pillar churches (4 in Quebec and one in Nova Scotia) and explore opportunities for potential collaborations.
Eastern Canada is among North America’s most beautiful yet spiritually challenging regions. Once marked by thousands of church steeples, they now stand as among the most secular regions in the Western world. Yet beneath the surface of cultural sophistication and historic charm lies a deep spiritual hunger and a people largely unreached by a clear presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ (approx. 0.7% Evangelical in Quebec and only a little better in Atlantic Canada).
We invite you to join us in one of the most challenging gospel frontiers on the continent, even the world.

9Marks Carolina Weekender
OVERVIEW
The Park Baptist Church 9Marks Weekender is designed to immerse pastors, aspiring pastors, and church leaders in the life and rhythms of a local congregation committed to gospel-centered ministry. For several days, participants are invited not only to sit under teaching but to experience pastoral ministry in real time—seeing how biblical principles shape a church’s preaching, shepherding, and leadership.
Ultimately, the Park Baptist Church 9Marks Weekender is not a conference to be attended but a church family to be observed. It is an invitation to walk alongside pastors and members who are striving—imperfectly yet intentionally—to live out the biblical vision of a healthy church. For those preparing to plant, revitalize, or simply serve faithfully where God has placed them, the Weekender offers both conviction and encouragement: the gospel is enough, Christ is building His church, and pastors are called to shepherd with patience, courage, and joy.
