Dead Preacher Society
We’re thrilled to extend a warm invitation to an event that’s all about growth, community, and diving deep into our calling – the Dead Preachers Society gathering, happening from April 29th to May 1st in Smyrna, GA.
This isn’t your average conference. It’s a heartfelt meet-up inspired by the foundational mentor group led by Dr. Jim Shaddix in the early 2000s, focusing on living for Christ by dying to self (Galatians 2:20). We’re here to uplift, encourage, and empower each other as ministers of the gospel.
Here’s a glimpse of what’s planned:
* Kick-off with Hershael York: Start with worship and an insightful session on personal holiness and family priorities.
* Engage in Vital Topics: From marriage and family with Hershael and Tanya York to impactful preaching sessions and breakout discussions featuring David Smith, Thomas Hammond, Mark Hearn, Daryl Price, and Al Jackson.
Event Details:
* When: April 29 – May 1
* Start Time: Monday 9:00 AM Breakfast, 10:00 AM Gathering
* End Time: Wednesday NOON
* Where: Smyrna First Baptist Church, 1275 Church St, Smyrna, GA 30080
* Cost: $100 – ($50 for Noonday pastors with discount code NOONDAY50)
Why Attend?
This gathering is for those who cherish humility, learning, and genuine fellowship. It’s not about building platforms but about building each other up in Christ. If your heart resonates with these values, we can’t wait to welcome you.
