Caskey Conference Montana
Pursuing Godliness to Strengthen Churches
As Moses had to regularly go before the Lord, in order to lead the people of Israel, we must regularly go before the Lord to lead our church as well. A wholehearted pursuit of godliness is an essential discipline for pastors to strengthen their church. Join us at the Caskey conference for encouragement and equipping in personal holiness and church health strategies.
