Exciting, inspirational
and educational. Those are the words that I freely use to articulate the
Pastor’s U experience. I look forward to participating each year, simply
because I know that I will leave with information that will help in the shaping
of ministry at THE MOUNT OLIVET. My hat is off to Pastor Blackwell and the Zion
family for the wonderful job they do each year in bringing pastors to the
Pastor’s U. God bless you in all of your efforts. I look forward to
seeing all of my fellow colleagues at this year’s Pastor’s U.

Pastor’s U is the premiere pastoral gathering for those who are serious about growing ministry and impacting people for Christ.

Relevant, pastor focused and exceptionally structured, these are just a few of the many thoughts that come to mind. This conference is a must for the out-of-the box forward thinking 21st century pastor.
Dr. Anthony Chandler, Senior Pastor
Cedar Street Baptist Church of God, Richmond, Virginia
I am excited about Pastor's U. It is one of the most engaging events for pastors on the East Coast. Pastor's U provides a chance for pastors to learn, to be challenged and to dialogue about both the strengths and the struggles of ministry, up close and personal with some of the great ministry leaders of our day. I highly recommend it for both new and seasoned servants.

The Pastor’s U Conference is insightful and phenomenal. Each year I leave inspired to fulfill God’s will for my life. The impartation has stirred up the anointing that is upon me. You have illustrated your love and concern for pastors by allowing anointed men of God to pour into God chosen vessels. Every session has been nothing less than excellent. Thank you!

Pastor’s U is a powerful time for ministry Shepherds to come together and grow exponentially. Insight, revelation and illumination is shared from real time experience that will bless all that attend and consequently, set in motion clear ministry purpose and dimensional church growth.

The Pastor's U is a unique platform of pastoral education that enlightens, inspires, and rejuvenates. Every pastor in the Hampton Roads area would benefit greatly from the professional and personal interaction with their colleagues in the pastoral ministry.

It has been my pleasure to both attend and to participate in the Pastor’s U Conference. I have found the conference to be both informative and inspirational. The fellowship is awesome, as pastors from the area are able to share their experiences and their wisdom with each other. The line-up of speakers, preachers, and presenters has always been an excellent choice. I certainly look forward to this year’s conference and the blessing that I am confident God has in store for each attendee. I would like to applaud you for your leadership, wisdom, and organization of the conference.
Please be encouraged as you provide a powerful platform for the continued preparation of church leaders for the 21st Century.

Insightful instruction, innovative ideas, and incredible hospitality: worth it!
Dr. Lance Watson, Senior Pastor
Saint Paul’s Baptist Church, Richmond, Virginia
I have attended several conferences over the years as I believe that one should continuously keep their swords sharpened beyond their own personal studies and seminary preparation. The Pastor’s U Lectures and Luncheon offer pastors and ministers an outstanding classroom experience with successful local pastors as well as nationally known pastors. It also offers pastors and clergy who know each other to share our experience with each other and to edify each other in the work of the kingdom. The Pastor’s U is a blessing to the greater Hampton Roads Community of clergy---Thank you and God bless you, Dr. Melvin Blackwell for bringing us together in a forum of “continued education.” IT IS AN EXCELLENT MINISTRY TO MINISTERS!
