For 56 years, Pastor John dedicated himself to the study and proclamation of the Word of God. John’s steadfast defense of both the lordship of Christ and the sufficiency of Scripture defined his theological commitments and formed an approach to ministry that became an example to multiple generations of pastors around the world.

Shepherds Conference 2026 will celebrate the biblical convictions and pastoral priorities that characterized the life and ministry of our pastor, friend, and fellow worker in the gospel, John MacArthur. Join us as we look to John’s example and, ultimately, to the Chief Shepherd, who is building His church through the ministry of faithful shepherds under His charge.
