Dear Ministers,
We are excited to announce our 2023 Minister’s Retreat on April 26-28, 2023, at the Black Bear Inn in Gatlinburg, TN. For many years this has been a highlight for our ministers and spouses as we gather together for worship, fellowship, and inspiration. We hope you will make plans to participate. Please register for the 2023 Minister’s Retreat at www.ccrdc.org/events before April 12, 2023.
Our speaker this year will be Jimmy Dodd, a former Pastor and Founder / CEO of PastorServe. Mr. Dodd is a well-known and respected speaker and the author of “Survive or Thrive” and “Pastors are People Too”.
“When pastors are healthy and thriving in their private (backstage) lives and public (front stage) lives, the Church has a much better chance of being the beacon of hope God created Her to be. This perspective excites us and serves to keep us laser focused on our reason for existence as an organization – Pastors!”
Jimmy Dodd, PastorServe
