Our Host
Join Pastor Jim Scudder and fellow leaders at the Grace Conference, where clarity meets encouragement.
Pastor Jim Scudder knows the weight of leadership—he’s felt the pressure that comes with guiding a flock, striving to stay encouraged while helping ministries thrive in a challenging world. As the Senior Pastor of Quentin Road Baptist Church, he’s witnessed firsthand the trials that church leaders and their congregations face in their mission to spread the gospel. Under his care, Quentin Road, established 50 years ago, has blossomed into a community and worldwide beacon, but the struggle to maintain that light has not been without adversity.
He understands that motivation doesn’t always come easily, and growth can feel stunted without the right support.
The needs of ministry leaders resonate deeply with him, which is why he hosts the yearly Grace Conference.
Pastor Scudder’s desire is that participants leave with a clearer message, armed with insights and encouragement from some of the most helpful people in the world. Through uplifting sessions and networking opportunities, attendees discover profound ways to enhance their ministries and foster greater connections in their communities.
