Meetings & Training

Pastors and Leaders Conference (PALCON) is a gathering designed for all Nazarene clergy – pastors, chaplains, evangelists, staff ministers, missionaries, educators, and students. The conference features worship gatherings and learning conversations shaped by a common theme and aimed at inspiring and equipping women and men in ministry. Each PALCON venue features its own set of plenary speakers and presenters and a unique daily schedule.

The Ministry Development and Assessment Center is a required weekend for all NWO district-licensed ministers to help them discover their greatest gifts, develop as a leader, experience a collaborative peer learning environment, and be encouraged - all the while gaining a better understanding of their leadership style and providing self-aware of areas needed for growth and greater effectiveness. MDAC is a prerequisite step in the journey toward ordination.

Both the candidate and spouse (if married) must participate in the entire weekend event. The weekend begins at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Friday and will go through Sunday at approximately noon.

There is a significant amount of preparation for the event.

An application for both the candidate and the spouse must be filled out ahead of the event, plus three separate assessments for both the candidate and the spouse.

Email Chip Bullock at ChipBullock@limacc.com to register and receive the application.

The applications as well as the assessments must be completed ahead of time, with a deadline of Monday, August 19.

The M25 Conference will help pastors and church leaders grow in their ability and effectiveness to share the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Attendees will be encouraged, equipped, and empowered in new and creative ways to share the gospel! The agenda for the conference includes plenary speakers, break-out workshops, affinity group meetings, and corporate worship time. Participants will be encouraged, equipped, and empowered to engage in new ways to bring people to Jesus. Jesus is calling all people to Himself and as believers, we are co-workers in the work of evangelism.

The Global Leadership Summit was created to help us increase our leadership capacity so we can realize the dream of moving the team to reach the vision God has given us. This event gathers some of the best visionary leaders from around the world for two days of immersion in effective leadership strategies, profound insights, inspiring stories, and strategic collaboration and networking.

This evening is for your entire church. You, your leadership teams, and your congregation are invited to a district-wide experience where evangelism meets discipleship in a powerful and personal way. It’s time to step beyond the Christian bubble and intentionally seek the one—the lost person God has placed in your life.
