(Yes you'll enjoy beautiful weather in Florida!) The event will be held at a resort and conference center that has been completely renovated, with special hotel rates of $104/night so you can conveniently stay where the conference is held.

We will provide a full refund for conference cancellations up to 91 days prior to the event. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide refunds for Live Event registrations within 90 days of the event due to operational costs and event location and speaker contracts. Your spot also locks out another pastor from attending. However, your ticket may be transferred to another staff member without penalty.

In the event that the conference must be canceled for circumstances beyond our control (e.g. natural disaster, fire, terrorism, war, infectious disease, government travel restrictions, etc.) registrations are non-refundable. Much like when traveling on vacation or overseas, we recommend consideration of travel insurance to safeguard against loss.

The Renegade Pastors Network with Nelson Searcy provides a 100% Money Back Guarantee — if you aren’t completely satisfied with the impact of this conference after attending and engaging on Day 1, just let Nelson know anytime before the end of Day 1 and you’ll be completely refunded.

Here's What Other Members are Saying About Nelson's Renegade Pastors Network:

“Renegade Pastors has benefitted me, even as a seasoned pastor with over 35 years in ministry! The five biggest have been in lifelong ministry learning, a vast improvement in our church assimilation, preaching planning, equipping tools for multiplying fully developing disciples, and ongoing coaching and networking to make a kingdom difference to God’s glory.”

‒ Lou Diaz
Evangelical Free Church of Chico in Chico, CA

“My New Year’s resolution was to become a more focused and effective minister for God. I decided that coaching was what I needed. Our church leaders are studying the 8 systems, beginning with Fusion, and we look forward to sharing the Gospel with our neighbors. We can be the church God intends us to be and are grateful for the tools and guidance of the Renegade Pastors Network.”

‒ Karen Bankes
Faith UMC, La Crosse, WI

“I enjoy the nuts and bolts approach. I am a systems/process thinker and the network helps me think through different areas of our church and challenges the way I think about our processes and how I lead/pastor.”

‒ Andy Rainey
Blue Ash Community Church, Blue Ash, OH

“Nelson’s coaching is practical, challenging, and encouraging. It helps fan the flame to persevere because lives matter. We have studied theology, church history, leadership, personal development, family. So he touches on all aspects of the pastor's life. Stop settling for average and do it. The results are almost instant in you and will bear fruit in your ministry as you grow.”

‒ Jason Scheler
Hope Lutheran Church, Santa Rosa Beach, FL

“The Renegade Pastors Network is the single greatest investment you can make towards growing your church. Period.”

‒ Lon Dean
House of Praise, Castleton, NY
