All of church leadership is shepherding, as men and women in the church lead, care for, and love God’s flock in all manner of ways.
That is why, at the start of November, Blackpool became home to more than 1,000 church leaders for three days of the 2024 FIEC Leaders’ Conference: looking to Jesus, the Good Shepherd, and considering what it means to love like Jesus.
Pastors, elders, youth workers, administrators, ministry wives, musicians, and others in local church leadership gathered at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool for Bible teaching, sung worship (led by UK group Joyful Noise), seminars, and prayer. The focus was on the ‘I am’ statements of Jesus and what ‘shepherding’ looks like in different contexts.
