If more than one pastor from a congregation is attending, the congregation pays for each pastor’s meals and accommodations but only one registration fee.

In addition, even when a Pastor is unable to attend the conference, his congregation is still expected to pay the registration fee.

There will be no reimbursement for mileage.

Retired Pastors are expected to pay for any spousal lodging and meals. Please send a check for $255.00 to the Mid-South District for expenses for your spouse, which includes ½ the room rate and meals for your spouse.
