I'm not ashamed of the gospel
The United States Ministerial Conference is an annual event at which men of various spiritual callings gather to worship God and hear His Word preached.
Secularism is increasingly antagonistic to Christian principles, which have served it well in creating a tolerant and generous society. As antagonism increases, so does the natural human response to cultural confrontation. But twice the apostle Paul tells us (Romans 1:16, 2 Timothy 1:8) not to be ashamed of the gospel or testimony of our Lord Jesus because it is the power of God to believers.jIt is better to suffer for the gospel than to thrive in our society.
This conference should prepare you for the coming days.

frequently asked questions
who answers
The East Coast Ministerial Conference is organized for men who are (or have been) in ministry; students in theological training for ministry; men serving in missionary work (at home and abroad); and men who serve the Church as elders or as deacons. In addition, we welcome those who are sponsored by their church/minister if the church is seriously considering them for elders or full-time ministry.
We ask that only men attend to maximize opportunities for fellowship, accountability and prayer. We understand how difficult it is to be away from family for a few nights, but one of the purposes of this conference is to encourage men to form strong friendships with like-minded brethren and other ministers of the gospel.
Where it is?
Elizabethtown University, Elizabethtown PA.Some may ask, "Why host a conference on a college campus?" A college campus allows us to keep everyone together. The vast majority of participants will stay in on-campus dormitories, share their meals in the on-campus food court, and enjoy the fellowship in on-campus recreation centers.
How much does it cost?
Elizabethtown College's campus allows us to keep tuition fees low. This is an important feature of Banner of Truth conferences because we want to reach as many pastors as possible who are not all ministering to large, thriving churches. Our conference fee, which ranges from $200 to $405, is excellent value considering it includes room and board, conference registration, bookstore gift certificates, and use of all campus facilities. There are absolutely no hidden costs!
