Ministry in Times of Global Crisis

Lead with clarity when the world is in chaos.

Join us November 9–11, at The Potter’s House of Dallas for the 2025 JDS Fall Symposium—our annual leadership experience for those called to serve in ministry, business, and community.

This year’s theme, Ministry in Times of Global Crisis, is more than timely—it’s necessary. As the world faces uncertainty, today’s leaders must be spiritually grounded, theologically equipped, and practically prepared to respond with wisdom and compassion.

Whether you’re navigating trauma in your community, stewarding limited resources, or reimagining worship in a digital world—you’re not alone. This year’s Symposium is designed to equip you for the challenges you’re already facing and inspire new approaches to ministry that are bold, resilient, and Spirit-led.

What to Expect:

• Thought-provoking breakout sessions on trauma-informed ministry, worship innovation, spiritual formation, and crisis leadership

• Mainstage moments and keynote conversations that address leadership in global disruption

• Expert-led panels on worship, resilience, and community collaboration

• Live worship experiences that refresh and refocus your soul

• Connection opportunities with fellow students, pastors, scholars, and faith-based professionals
