We gather three times a year to learn from professional theologians or seasoned pastors. Our goal is to equip pastors as theologians and enrich theologians pastorally. Through shared convictions and informal relationships, we provide resources to glorify God in our churches.

Convictions
Pastor-Theologian Collective (PTC) welcomes all ministry leaders who stand united in our core convictions. We believe that the Bible is the Word of God. We hold to a historic, orthodox Christian worldview.
Share
Relationships
We gather to build lasting friendships, encourage one another, and share connections within a continuously growing network of pastors and ministry leaders. We believe relationships are key to the flourishing of the Church.

Resources
Our members have helped with pulpit supply, shared sermon notes, provided academic materials, and promoted each other’s platforms. We are collaborative and open-handed in sharing ministry resources.
Feedback from pastors like you...
“This is something all churches in Wisconsin need. It was great that the Pastor-Theologian Collective wasn’t just another networking event, but something where as pastors we could come and be filled together. Too many churches are in competition building bigger barns instead of building up one another…”

“As pastors we are called by God to ‘Feed My Sheep’ (John 21:15-19). This has always been my greatest blessing in Serving Him. There is time though, when we need to be fed as well, lest we neglect to obey God’s word in 1 Peter 3:15 ‘…always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you…’. The last Pastor-Theologian Collective was just what I needed to be refreshed and equipped for continued service.”

“As a guy who has been out of the academic classroom for many years, I find it so refreshing to sit in a classroom setting and learn new insights in biblical thinking. It was worth every moment of my time and I can’t wait for the next Pastor-Theologian Collective.”

“I enjoy reading/studying, but listening to authors/thinkers explain a text or a theological perspective in real time is my preferred way to learn…I loved formal schooling. These sessions take me back to what I loved best about it (and it comes without tests, quizzes, and papers to write).”

“The instruction from Dr. O’Donnell was engaging, informative, and practical. I was reminded that everyone grieves, and Job prepares us to navigate through times of suffering. I left with a greater confidence and motivation to share the message of Job with my own congregation.”
Greg L.
“While I don’t recall how many of the Pastor-Theologian Collectives I have attended, I can say that each one was well worth the time. The teaching at a recent event with Dr. Mike Bullmore was most helpful for both doctrine and practical application in ministry roles, not just for pastors. It was certainly gospel-centric teaching.”
