2026 Pastoral Training & Development Seminar

March 2-3, 2026

Dr. Macel and Carol Ely, Founders of BMI

Barnabas Ministries International is hosting a Pastoral Training & Development Seminar on March 2nd - 3rd. This seminar will consist of two days of intensive training for pastors and those who believe they may be called to become pastors in the future. It will provide them with the opportunity to glean wisdom and knowledge from more seasoned pastors while making Kingdom connections that will help and encourage them in their calling. Spouses are also encouraged to attend as we believe they have a special place and calling in the pastoral ministry as well. If you are planning to attend, please register by completing the form below by January 30, 2026. Space will be limited, so please register early!
