Inviting ministry leaders everywhere to come be equipped and encouraged!
The International Ministerial Association (IMA) invites you to our annual National Conference — a life-giving gathering for pastors, missionaries, church leaders, and ministry teams from across the country. This is more than just a conference. It’s a time to breathe, to be refreshed, and to build lasting relationships!
Whether you’re leading a church, serving on the mission field, or walking alongside a pastor as part of their team — this conference is for you!
Dates: September 15th-17th
Location: Rocky Mount, VA
Each evening is designed to lift up Jesus and stir your soul with worship that invites the presence of God and preaching that speaks directly to the heart of ministry and the challenges leaders face today.
Gain tools, insight, and encouragement for real-life ministry—from leading teams and preaching effectively to navigating burnout and building healthy ministry culture.
Ministry can be lonely, but it doesn’t have to be. There will be plenty of space to share stories, build friendships, and find encouragement from others who truly understand the weight and joy of the calling.
Slow down, catch your breath, and create space to listen to God. This is a moment to rest, refocus, and remember why you said yes to the call in the first place.
Join us for a fun-filled day on the course at our annual Annual Missions Golf Tournament! Whether you're a seasoned golfer or just along for the laughs, this event is open to all skill levels. Because it's not about your score, it's about supporting a cause that matters.
Enjoy great company, beautiful greens, and friendly competition - all while helping raise funds for domestic missions. It’s the perfect way to close out the conference: building connections, enjoying God’s creation, and making a difference.
