Ministers blend faith, career at annual retreat

Tennessee’s bivocational ministers gathered in the heart of the Smoky Mountains last month for a weekend of fellowship and renewal. The annual Bivocational Ministers & Wives Retreat in Pigeon Forge brought together church leaders who navigate both Sunday sermons and regular jobs.

This year’s theme, “While We Can,” sparked discussions about seizing opportunities in both spiritual and secular worlds. The retreat offered these unique faith leaders a chance to share their experiences and find strength in their dual roles.

Check out more information about full coverage.
