REGIONALLY
PASTOR-THEOLOGIAN COLLECTIVE INITIATIVE
This is something all churches in Wisconsin needs. It was great that the Pastor-Theologian Collective wasn’t just another networking event, but something where as pastors we could come and be filled together. Too many churches are in competition building bigger barns instead of building up one another... - Ryan J. For many pastors, it has been a few years since they have had the opportunity to sit in a classroom and hear a theologically enriching presentation. Two pastors from Southern Wisconsin want to change that and provide opportunities for pastors to be theologically challenged and equipped. The Pastor-Theologian Collective exists to stretch pastors theologically, giving them access to theologians in a specialized field. Consequently, pastors from Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois gather for a seminar and fellowship three times a year. Pastors gather in the months of September, February and May.
