Pastor’s Day is for our active CBOQ pastors to gather with your co-labourers to share ideas, develop relationships and find mutual support as we care and equip one another for ministry. This year we will be focusing on deepening the bonds of fellowshipping with one another and addressing sensitive topics such as mental health. We want you to come away renewed, refreshed, reenergized and reinvigorated for ministry.
