Annual Conference
Each year the whole district comes together the first weekend of March. This year the conference will be March 7-8, 2025 and will take place at Hope Community Church in Olympia, WA. This conference is designed to challenge and encourage you, your staff, as well as others in your congregation. The two day conference includes main sessions, worship, meals, breakout sessions, networking with other churches and EFCA ministries, as well as the important district affirmation of the board and district budget.
This conference will take place at Hope Community Church: 2425 Black Lake Blvd SW, Olympia, WA 98512
We are excited that Lee Eclov will be speaking at our conference this year:
Pastor Lee Eclov is a semi-retired EFCA pastor of over 40 years, having served churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois. He was an adjunct professor at TEDS in pastoral counseling. He has authored six books, including Pastoral Graces: Reflections on the Care of Souls (Moody Publishers), and three volumes of columns of pastoral encouragement written each week for PreachingToday.com.
REFRESH Pastors & Wives Retreat
Mark your calendars for our next REFRESH retreat:November 6th - 9th, 2025
Skamania Lodge
Stevenson, Washington
Every November, we set aside a special time to love on our pastors and spouses. This year is no different with the Refresh conference location being the beautiful Sun River in central Oregon. The focus of Refresh is simply that to be refreshed! You will experience spiritual encouragement, amazing food, plenty of space for rest, adventure, and district connection. Because this ministry is of high value, the District offsets a percentage of the cost of REFRESH to you. Be sure to make space on your busy calendar for this time.
