In their own words
“From the very first conversation that Dr. Matthew Haste led, regarding a biblical examination of the pastor’s disposition, every component of this workshop far exceeded the goal of theological education; each element stretched my comprehension and affection of divinely beautiful realities as revealed in Scripture.”
Senior Pastor at Brownsville Baptist Church
In their own words
“The Pastor’s Workshop was an edifying time for pastors to come together in order to glean from trusted professors and leaders. Every participant – from coast to coast – seemed to have similar questions and struggles in ministry, needing the same encouragement and wisdom from God’s Word. The Pastor’s Workshop was unlike any class I have ever taken at Southern and I highly recommend it.”
