What is Georgia Pastors' School?
Georgia Pastors’ School provides inspiration, education, fellowship, fun and relaxation for North and South Georgia United Methodist clergy and their families. The school is supported by the tuition of attendees, an endowment established by the board of managers, contributions from the North and South Georgia Conferences, and the generous contributions of our sponsors who provide refreshments during breaks and fellowship times. Georgia Pastors’ School is held on the beautiful grounds of Epworth by the Sea Retreat Center on St. Simons Island, Georgia. While this school was initially designed for the North and South Georgia Conferences, we open the door to clergy from other United Methodist conferences too.
Our Leadership
The school is managed by pastors for pastors. The board of managers consist of thirty-two clergy – sixteen from North Georgia and sixteen from South Georgia – who are appointed to full-time ministry in their conference. Managers serve for two quadrinium, and are responsible for all aspects of the school from the selection of topics, recruitment of faculty and preachers, and the logistics of the school. To learn more about the board of managers, contact them, or ask about opportunities to serve, visit the Contact Information page.

Active and retired United Methodist clergy and their families are cordially invited to experience this combination of continuing education and personal renewal.
