The 2025 Los Angeles Preachers’ Conference

Faithful to Preach

October 10-11, 2025

“Preach the Word… in season and out of season” - 2 Timothy 4 : 2

The preaching of God’s Word is central to our work as pastors. But while the labor is meaningful and encouraging, it’s also exhausting. The weekly grind of Bible study, sermon preparation, and preaching can erode our drive and focus.

The LA Preachers’Conference exists to encourage pastors as we serve our churches. Join us on October 10-11th as we remember the primacy, principles, and purpose of preaching God’s Word as we meet for the LA Preachers’ Conference.

FAQ

How will each session be structured?

Each session will be split into “Teaching Time” and a panel for “Story Time”, where the speakers will answer questions and share stories from their ministry experience.

Can women attend?

This conference is intended for pastors and those looking to pastor. We believe that the office of pastor/elder/overseer is reserved for men. That being said, women are more than welcome to attend the conference!

What if I can’t afford a registration?

We intend to use our funds to serve every pastor through resources and the speakers. If price is the only constraint preventing you from attend, please email firstbaptistchurchartesia@gmail.com. We’d love for you to attend.
