A Conference for Ministry Leaders

Pastors, teachers, counselors, camp staff, and Christian workers of all kinds: come Rest, Refresh, Refocus at ABC’s first annual Servants’ Summit. There will be speakers and workshops to equip you, food and fellowship to encourage you, and free time activities to give you a fun break from the rigors of ministry. “The mountains shall bring peace to the people…” (Psalm 72:3).

Serving the Next Generation is the theme for the 2025 conference. As the youth in our families and churches face the growing antagonism of wokeness, how can we help them stand for truth? Get ready for inspiring messages and practical topics. “The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations” (Psalm 33:11).

The conference runs Thursday evening (7:00 PM) through Saturday morning (11:00 AM).
It includes:

  • 3 sessions with Bryan Osborne
  • 1 session with Dr. Daniel Anderson
  • 3 workshops
  • meals
  • a free afternoon with optional activities provided

Bryan Osborne

Keynote Speaker: Bryan Osborne

Bryan is a speaker for Answers in Genesis and has written for a blog designed to help parents and ministry leaders solve the growing epidemic of Biblical illiteracy through the use of resources such as AiG’s Answers Bible Curriculum. He also authored Quick Answers to Tough Questions. After graduating with a B.A. in Biblical studies and minors in Greek and Christian education, Bryan earned his master’s in education. For 13 years he boldly and enthusiastically taught Bible history in a public school system in Tennessee, and for 20 years he has helped young adults in the local church to know and defend their faith. Bryan’s giftedness as a communicator and his passion for revealing the truth of God’s Word are obvious and contagious!
