National Pastors' Orientation (NPO)

All new pastors (either new to the pastorate or new to USMB) are invited to attend the National Pastors’ Orientation (NPO) in beautiful San Diego, California, March 24-26, 2025.

The NPO is an important part of any pastor’s development. It’s a chance to get to know the USMB family and learn where we came from and where we’re going. The NPO offers encouragement, networking, refreshment and fun.

At the NPO, you’ll put faces to names of MB leaders and make new friends. You’ll hear about the many resources available to you, such as life insurance, annual IRS reporting, administrative support, LEAD initiatives, Christian Leader magazine, events and more. And you’ll join others who are on similar journeys, offering potential for meaningful connections and lifelong friendships.

We know that being a pastor is hard. You’re not alone. Why not take some time away for you and your spouse to get away for a few days? (Yes, spouses are highly encouraged to attend). We’ve built in two blocks of free time for you to enjoy all that San Diego has to offer. This is your chance to relax, make new friends and feel the sand between your toes.

Plan now to join us for the NPO at the Island Palms Hotel and Marina in San Diego, March 24-26, 2025. We think you’ll return rejuvenated for ministry.

 REGISTER HERE! 

We’ll send more details later, but here are some things you should know:

• NPO starts with breakfast on Monday, so plan to arrive on Sunday, March 23
• The registration fee is $450 per person, which includes your hotel stay and all meals and activities
• You will need to pay to get to San Diego, but once you’ve arrived, all of your transportation will be taken care of. No need to book a rental car or schedule an Uber. We’ve got you!

The NPO is one of our highly rated events. You won’t want to miss it!
