Secondary Title

Midlands Greenhouse

The Midlands Greenhouse exists to help pastors grow in personal health, gospel faithfulness, and ministry fruitfulness. Each month, we gather to rest, worship, learn from one another, and receive practical equipping for the work of shepherding. Through teaching, worship, fellowship, shared wisdom, and brotherhood, we aim to see stronger pastors leading stronger churches for the glory of Christ across the Midlands. 

Upcoming Events

“Leading from Rest: Finding Rhythms of Renewal in Ministry”

Focus: Healthy rhythms of rest and renewal; practical steps for sustainable ministry and emotional health.  Learn how to lead from rest, not exhaustion, and recover your joy in ministry.

Speaker – Jarrian Wilson, James Nugent, Eric Freeman

Location – Fellowship Baptist Church



“Marriage, Family, and the Pastor’s Home”

Feb 12th 9:30am

Focus: Address the balance between church and home life; protecting marriage, parenting with grace, and leading from integrity. Ministry begins at home. This month we’ll explore how to cultivate healthy family life while faithfully leading the church.

Speaker – Kyle Britt, Eric Freeman

“The Pastor’s Inner Life: Guarding the Heart in a Public Ministry”

March 12th 9:30am

Focus: Deep dive into personal holiness, spiritual disciplines, and the dangers of ministerial pride or isolation, and dealing with criticism and discouragement. Before we lead others, we must tend our own souls. Let’s focus on guarding the heart and walking closely with Christ.
