Rooted in Faith, Thriving in Ministry


About the conference

Those of us who work with ministers or inquirers and candidates pray for them to be as healthy as “... trees planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in its season ...” (Psalm 1:3) Yet we often wear ourselves out with gatekeeping and firefighting rather than supporting healthy ministries and preventing problems.

This conference took place from July 26 to 29, 2007, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
