EFC-ER Pastors and church leaders - you're invited!
Join us for the EFC-ER Pastors Conference 2026 in Dry Ridge, Kentucky, a setting made for both renewal and connection. This year’s gathering is designed to give pastors space to breathe, laugh, reflect, and be reminded that they are not carrying the calling alone. In between rich times of worship and fellowship, enjoy the simple joys of the area, from exploring the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum, nearby downtown Cincinnati and local parks to sharing unhurried meals and conversations with friends in ministry. We are especially excited to be encouraged by our speaker, Alan Amavisca, whose insight, humility, and love for the kingdom of God will refresh weary hearts and rekindle vision for the road ahead.
