SPECIAL SESSION FOR PASTORS & LEADERS
SPECIAL SESSION FOR PASTORS & LEADERS
We are hosting a very special session for regional pastors, church staff, and marketplace leaders.
This is an intentional gathering to step away from the demands of our daily roles and experience deep spiritual refreshment. This will be a holy time of God's generals seeking the Lord together as brothers and sisters in Christ.
What to Expect:
Extended corporate worship as we experience the Presence and Love of our precious Jesus.
Prayer for our churches, businesses, and our region.
Powerful ministry from special guests, including Pastor Charlie Sweet, who profoundly operates in the prophetic, and Jacquise Terry, a pastor who is transforming his city in Baton Rouge.
Genuine fellowship to meet and connect with other leaders in the region.
A free lunch provided afterwards.
Your Invitation & Blessing:
The Firehouse prayer team will be praying daily for you and your team by name for 21 days leading up to this session.
All participants of the Friday morning session will receive special gifts as well as free admission to the evening sessions of the Pause Conference.
We truly are expecting Jesus to walk amongst us and touch each of us in a fresh way.
Join Us: Friday, November 7 at 10 AM. Registration is free.
Meet the Speakers

Jacquise "JT" Terry
As pastor of the Healing Place Baton Rouge DreamCenter, JT is deeply impacting his community and its families. Growing up in the projects, athletics was a key part of his youth. He played through college and then for the Detroit Lions. When he stepped out of pro sports and into ministry, JT understood the power and hope athletics can bring to youth. Through deep discipleship and access to quality training, the DreamCenter is changing the lives of its youth. Through neighborhood outreaches, families are being resourced and reached for Christ!

Charlie & Sharon Sweet
For 40 years, in over 20 nations, and in 150 churches, Charlie has ministered in a remarkable prophetic gift, and Sharon in supernatural healing. Pastor Charlie teaches prophetic intensives throughout the country, pouring his knowledge into the next generation of prophetic ministry. Every session of the conference will be filled with passionate worship, teaching, and prophetic ministery.

help us spread the word
We truly are expecting Jesus to walk amongst us and touch each of us in a fresh way at the Pause Conference. But we cannot do this alone.
We need your partnership in this holy pursuit.
Your First Step: Prayer
We invite you to spend time praying about who you know—pastors, leaders, or anyone you know is simply hungry for something real—who is supposed to be in the room with us. Your prayerful "yes" to inviting others is a powerful part of our communal purpose.
Your Next Step: Invite
We’ve created a downloadable media kit with various items you can use to help spread the word. This kit makes it easy to share the invitation directly via text message or upload to your social media platforms.
Download the Media Kit today and help us reach every soul who needs to seek the face of Jesus, refresh their soul, and hear a word that will set their heart on fire.
Thank you for helping us make space for His presence.
