Will there be time to explore Pigeon Forge?

What should I pack?

Christian Workers Seminar is a relaxed and informal week designed for rest, renewal, and meaningful connections. It’s a time to deepen relationships, grow spiritually, and develop ministry skills in a refreshing environment. Pack comfortable clothes and check the forecast—occasional rain in the Smokies is common this time of year. While most morning and evening sessions are indoors, afternoons are open for you to explore the beauty and attractions of the area.

What workshops will be available?

Workshops will include: Where Did We Get the Bible?, Leadership Under Pressure, and Developing Church Leaders.
