A Noble Task is a one-day conference to equip and encourage pastors and church leaders in truth, leadership, and fellowship.
At Brainard, we believe the work of Christian ministry is immensely valuable and honorable: truly, a noble task (1 Timothy 3:1). As such, A Noble Task is designed to serve, encourage, equip, and refresh pastors and church leaders like you.
We want you to be able to continue your ministry, fully and faithfully! We hope that this one-day event, with a minimal cost and time commitment, can be part of making that possible.
