With the first phase of major construction on the Headquarters campus complete, the majority of effort this summer went into beautifying the grounds. Scores of additional trees and landscaping features were completed or installed, including two lakes, several bridges, and numerous park benches and paths to provide additional angles from which to enjoy the campus.

With the help of dedicated staff and local area vendors, the campus stands as a reflection of God’s attention to detail and quality.

The Restored Church of God’s 2016 Ministerial Conference, held May 20-28 at its World Headquarters campus in Wadsworth, Ohio, was a tremendously successful opportunity for field ministers around the world to reunite, reconnect and receive updates. They also received additional training to equip them to become more effective shepherds.

The Conference began with the Keynote and State of the Work lectures from Pastor General David C. Pack. The rest of the week included additional subjects covered by Mr. Pack, as well as presentations from other Headquarters leaders. Some covered pastoral instruction, while others detailed the growth achieved in the Work in 2015-2016.

Activities included speaking workshops, a song-leading seminar, campus tours, and many shared meals and fellowship opportunities. Field ministers also delivered pastorate report messages during Church services, to be played in congregations around the world.

Visiting ministers commented on the unified atmosphere and edifying content throughout the week, calling it the “best Conference ever.”

The annual Ministerial Conference is a priceless opportunity for ministers to spend time together, growing in unity and brotherly love and receiving focused professional and spiritual education.
