Renewed Hope Conference
Join us at the Renewed Hope Conference, where pastors and church leaders come together for spiritual rejuvenation, practical tools, and inspiring biblical teachings that empower the Local Church.
What is the Renewed Hope Conference?
The Renewed Hope Conference is a two-day experience designed to restore, reignite, and resource pastors so they can return to their churches with boldness and joy. Hosted at Hope Cathedral in Jackson, NJ, this gathering is all about refreshing the shepherds who pour out every week.
Whether you’re tired, thriving, or just in need of a reminder that you’re not alone—this is for you. Come rest. Come hear. Come receive.

As Conference Host
“This conference was birthed from a burden—to remind pastors that what they do still matters. Ministry can feel lonely, heavy, and unseen. But God has not forgotten His shepherds. This is your moment to be refreshed.”
– Pastor Trevon Gross
Why This Conference Matters
quitting ministry
53% of pastors have seriously considered quitting ministry since 2020.
bi-vocational
35% are bi-vocational, juggling full-time work and ministry.
discouragement
65% report feelings of isolation, fatigue, or discouragement.
This isn’t just another event—it’s a response to a real spiritual need. Pastors are under pressure, often quietly. Renewed Hope is designed to lift that weight and rekindle your “why.” You don’t have to lead empty. You don’t have to carry it alone.
It’s time to be seen, strengthened, and sent back full.
What You Can Expect
Honor
Every pastor matters. You won’t just be welcomed—you’ll be seen.
Joy
This is a place where laughter is holy, and hope is restored.
Clarity
No fluff. No filler. Just the Word and what your soul needs.
Presence
We make space for God to move.
Care
From the way you’re greeted to the way you’re prayed for, we’re here for you.
