OVERVIEW
Join us for the 2026 Unite Conference at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary near Raleigh, NC. This is our annual flagship event where the Pillar family gathers for times of exposition, fellowship, encouragement, musical worship, good food, and more. This year’s theme will focus on Multiplying Leaders as we seek to equip the next generation of church leaders to build healthy churches and carry the gospel to the ends of the earth. While the Unite Conference is mainly geared towards pastors, other church staff and leaders, seminary students, residents, and pastors’ wives are all welcome to attend. We hope you can make it on October 6-7, 2026 for the Main Conference, as well as for our auxiliary events (Pre-and Post-Conferences). More info on those events coming soon.
