The East Coast Pastors’ Conference is held each year to foster fellowship and unity among Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) pastors and churches in the Eastern segment of the United States, and to edify pastors of Presbyterian churches in the face of their on-going work of Ministry of Word and Sacrament.

This intimate conference is held four days in September when North Myrtle Beach is its loveliest and the weather is usually warm and sunny.

A typical schedule includes morning seminars at the Ocean Drive Presbyterian Church, followed by lunch. The afternoons are designed for rest, relaxation, golf, tennis, fishing, beach volleyball, basketball, biking, shopping, walking or just hanging out. You might even squeeze in a nap or two. Dinners are on your own as you slip away with your spouse for something private and romantic or dine with colleagues and share stories, struggles and triumphs.

We bring to the conference the finest preachers and teachers, so that you may be spiritually and professionally refreshed. Worship is a highlight of each conference, too. There is great freedom in worshipping with fellow colleagues and there are no issues to face down. Come and join your colleagues for rest, recreation, fellowship and learning.
