Our 2025 Pillar Pastor's Intensive is set for Feb. 4-6 at The Hill Church in La Mesa, CA. Our main theme for this year's Intensive will focus on church planting & revitalization, but there will be plenty of content for established pastors as well.
If you're newer to Pillar, our Intensives are annual, smaller-scale events where we bring experienced leaders from within our network to provide focused-training for pastors & future pastors. In addition to great teaching, we will have times for panels, fellowship, good food, worship and a fun group outing.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS EVENT? The Intensive is primarily for Pillar pastors, future planters/revitalizers, and residents in our network. Churches that are interested in joining Pillar are also invited to attend. If you have questions about this, please contact us directly at debbie@thepillarnetwork.com.
