Come Ye

REST Awhile

What is 
The REST Conference?
The Rest Conference is an opportunity for the Lord's servants to come together for a few days. Rest serves as an acronym for Refresh, Encourage, Strengthen, and Train. Rest will not be a how-to meeting, a promotional meeting, or an agenda-driven meeting. Our desire is that our time together be refreshing, relaxing, and relational. We encourage casual dress for all sessions with the exception of the Tuesday evening session which will also include our midweek church service.

The next REST conference will be held 
September 2-4, 2024, on the campus of
Tabernacle Baptist Church in Hickory, NC.

"The Rest Conference was a meeting that my wife and I needed more than we realized. The practical sessions, along with the fellowship, provided the spiritual rest we all long for in the busyness of ministry."
Josh Farmer
"The Rest Conference was a wonderful time of physical and spiritual refreshment. We left encouraged, challenged, and stirred to do more for Christ."
Brettnay Brazzell
"Last year's conference was so helpful I immediately placed it in our 2020 calendar. I learned that 'rest' is more than a practical matter, it's a spiritual mandate."
