FAQs
Who attends?
The East Coast Ministers’ Conference is arranged for:
- Ordained ministers (including retirees)
- Missionaries and Chaplains (including retirees)
- Those being trained for church ministry in a seminary or those who teach in a seminary
- Those being set aside for pastoral ministry in-church
- Church officers involved in preaching, teaching, or pastoral care at a particular church
We ask that only men attend to maximize opportunities for fellowship, accountability, and prayer. We understand the difficulty of being away from family for a couple of nights, but one of the goals of this conference is to encourage men to forge strong friendships with like-minded brothers and fellow gospel ministers.
Where is it located?
Elizabethtown College, Elizabethtown PA. Some might ask, “Why host a conference at a college campus?” A college campus allows us to keep everyone together. The vast majority of the attendees will stay in the campus dorms, share meals together at the campus food court, and enjoy fellowship together in the campus recreation centers.
What does it cost?
The Elizabethtown College campus allows us to keep the conference rates low. This is an important feature of Banner of Truth conferences, for we want to reach out to as many pastors as possible, not all of whom are serving in large and prosperous congregations. Our conference fee, which ranges from $200 to $405 is great value for money when you consider it covers room and full board, conference registration, bookstore gift certificates, and the use of all campus facilities. There are absolutely no hidden costs!
