The 2023 Bivocational Minister/Spouse Retreat will be Feb. 24–25 at Shocco Springs Conference Center in Talladega.
Craig Etheredge, pastor of CrossCreek Church in Colleyville, Texas, will speak.
Etheredge is the founder and president of discipleFIRST ministries and speaks regularly on disciple-making across the United States.
Breakout sessions for pastors’ wives will be led by Trish Jackson, missions lifestyle strategist for preschool, children and students for Alabama WMU.
Jackson’s husband, James, is pastor of Glynwood Baptist Church in Prattville.
The event will be a time of spiritual inspiration, fellowship, encouragement and instruction, according to Tim Henning, pastor of New Beginnings Fellowship in Trussville and president of the Alabama Baptist Bivocational Ministers Association.
Rest and retreat
Henning noted the overnight stay at Shocco is offered at a low cost to provide a retreat for pastors and their wives.
Another way bivocational pastors can connect, no matter where they live or how busy their schedule, is through the private Facebook group “Bivocational Ministries,” which can be accessed at facebook.com/groups/bivoministries.
