SUMMARY:Pastor's Forum with Brian Croft
DESCRIPTION:Biblical Patterns of Hard Work and Regular Rest with Brian Croft\nDate & Time: Wednesday\, September 16\, 2026\, 12:00–1:00 PM (HST) Online via Zoom \n\nThis session is the second in the HPBC Fall 2026 Pastors Forum series\, Hard Work and Good Rest. \nBrian Croft has spent years helping pastors build sustainable ministry — not just survive it. Through his Practical Shepherding ministry\, he has written extensively about the rhythms of labor and rest that allow a pastor to serve faithfully over a lifetime. He knows the guilt that keeps pastors from taking rest seriously\, and he knows the cost of ignoring it. \nThis forum will be a practical\, pastor-to-pastor conversation about the questions we don’t always say out loud: How do I pursue rest while still working hard? How do I know if I’m close to burning out? And what do I do about it? \n\nWhy Pastors Should Attend\n\nUnderstand the biblical case for rest as part of faithful ministry — not a retreat from it\nLearn to recognize the early warning signs of burnout before they become a crisis\nWork through the guilt that keeps so many pastors from taking rest seriously\nReceive practical steps for protecting your long-term health and ministry\n\n  \nFormat\n 20–25 minutes of teaching followed by a live Q&A. \n\nZoom Link\nHawaii Pacific Baptist pastors\, contact Craig Webb or Dawn Akutagawa to get the link.

SUMMARY:Church Health Conference: Developing a Healthy\, Great Commission Church
DESCRIPTION:Open Schedule (PDF) \n\n \nPastor\, could you and your leaders use a couple of days of biblical encouragement and a clear picture of a healthy\, Great Commission church? \nWe’ve invited our most requested speaker\, Brian Croft\, to return — and with him JimBo and Audrea Stewart from NAMB’s Replant team and Matthew Spandler-Davison of Practical Shepherding. \nWhether you’re leading an established church\, walking through revitalization\, or planting a church to have a strong foundation\, these two days will give you and your team a shared framework for church health rooted in the Great Commission. \nBring your wife\, your elders\, deacons\, team leaders\, decision-makers\, and influencers. Bring the people in your church who others actually follow. \n\nCome together\, leave with clarity.\n\n\nFriday evening\nSession 1: Healthy Churches Fulfill the Great Commission with Jesus with Brian Croft\nAn opening session that sets the biblical framework and pastoral responsibility in Matthew 28:18-20. \nMatthew Spandler-Davison testimony\nMatthew is a church planter and preaching pastor now in Kentucky. He’s originally from Scotland. This is our first time meeting him in Hawaii! \nSession 2: Healthy Churches Lead Like Jesus with Dr. JimBo Stewart\nChrist’s supremacy and what it means for leaders to serve as under-shepherds under the Chief Shepherd. \n\nSaturday morning\nSession 3: Healthy Churches Make Disciples Like Jesus with Dr. JimBo Stewart\nDiscipleship is the central task of Christian leaders—personally following Jesus and intentionally forming others to follow him\, so the church becomes a community shaped by Christ in everyday life and mission. \nBreakouts \n\nHealthy Churches Have a Simple Process to Raise Up Leaders (Brian Croft)\nHealthy Churches Cultivate a Culture of Disciplemaking (Dr. JimBo Stewart)\nHealthy Churches Cultivate a Culture of Discipleship Among Women (Audrea Stewart)\nHealthy Churches Raise Up Long-Term Leaders (Dr. Matthew Spandler-Davison)\n\n \nSession 4: Healthy Churches Go With Jesus’ Authority and Power (Brian Croft)\nA strengthening\, encouraging close: the promise of Christ’s presence for mission and leadership. \n\nSaturday after lunch\nQuestion & Answer with our speakers \nYou’ll have a chance to submit questions to Robert Miller ahead of time\, and we will cover as many as possible! We always get so much extra wisdom in this session. \nDebrief meetings with your leaders\nThis may be the most valuable part of the whole event. This is where you and your leaders take one hour to debrief what you heard\, what it means for the health of your church\, and next steps each of you will be responsible for.  \n\nConference begins Friday at 5:30 pm with registration and ends Saturday at 3 pm. \n\nDOWNLOAD SCHEDULE \n\nThis conference is hosted by the Hawaii Pacific Baptist Convention and supported through a North American Mission Board grant. Your Hawaii Pacific Baptist church has supported it through your church’s gifts through the Cooperative Program and the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions. Thank you! \n\nHPBC pastors on Kauai\, Hawaii Island\, Lanai\, Molokai\, and Maui. HPBC’s Robert Miller has resources to help with flights to Oahu for the conference for you\, your wife\, and one or two leaders. Email him here\, and he’ll get back to you ASAP!
