WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?
"You do not want to miss this..."
"The Shepherds Summit is a gathering for 'the rest of us' who love and lead small churches in an effort to love and serve God in a big way. Here we are not just given formulas for growth, but also for grace. It is the one event that goes on my calendar in ink every year as soon as the dates are released."
— Paul Dziadul: Lead Pastor | Lake Wildwood Baptist Church | Macon, GA
"The Shepherds Summit has been an invaluable blessing to me! It has provided a supportive community by connecting me with other pastors. I am encouraged by the knowledgable speakers, their examples, their love for Christ, their passion for ministry, and their love for those of us who are shepherding our congregations."
— Branden Rogers: Lead Pastor | Midway Baptist Church | Lucedale, MS
MERCH CONCEPT DESIGNS
see something you like?
We market the Shepherds Summit throughout the year across multiple digital and social media platforms, from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn to our website, podcast, and YouTube channel. But marketing isn't always digital. And one of the best ways to promote something is to put it in front of peoples' eyes in a way that will spark curiosity and cause them to ask questions. With that in mind, we've designed some branded Shepherds Summit merchandise concept artwork. If you like anything you see below, let us know! We may implement some of these items as SWAG at future Shepherds Summit events!
