Your work is more than just a job. It’s a spiritual calling, a divine purpose. And though it’s fulfilling, it can also be incredibly challenging. There are moments when the weight of the world seems to rest solely on your shoulders, and it’s difficult to keep going. We understand that the path of a minister is not always easy. You may have been hurt by people you trusted, who spread rumors and lies about you. You may have sacrificed precious moments with your loved ones, juggling the demands of ministry and family life. You may have felt overwhelmed by the expectations of your congregation, feeling like you must be everywhere at once

Returning for a second seminar, Hurt to Hope for Ministers is a 2-day workshop to help us find ways to deal with the hurt we have in life as clergy. This event is designed specifically for clergy to provide healthy ways to name and address pain. You will walk away with tools that you can use in your own situation.

Join us April 13-14, 2026, at Springfield First UMC.
