Donors sought to sponsor pastors for E4+

July 9, 2025

By Baptist Message staff

PINEVILLE, La. (LBM) – There is an opportunity for individuals, congregations and businesses to bless attendees to the upcoming E4+ Preaching Conference through “I Love Pastors” sponsorships.

The conference, set for Sept. 23 in the facilities of First Baptist Church, Pineville, will feature keynote messages by Fred Luter, senior pastor with Franklin Avenue Baptist Church, New Orleans, his wife, Elizabeth, and his son, Chip, who also serves as senior associate pastor with FABC. There also will be breakout sessions for pastors as well as directors of youth, media/sound, music and children ministries, and for ministers’ wives.

According to conference organizer Stewart Holloway, the registration fee covers only one-third of conference costs so attendance can be more affordable for pastors. Sponsors are needed to cover the remaining costs, said Holloway, pastor of FBC Pineville.

Anyone wishing to sponsor a pastor can give three ways: Online (click HERE); by check via mail (FBC Pineville, 901 Main St., Pineville, LA 71360, include “E4 – I Love Pastors” in the “for” line); or in person at FBCP.
