What Are 9Marks Events Like Feed My Sheep and Weekender?

9Marks events are in-person gatherings listed on 9marks.org for pastors and church leaders, and the site's upcoming events section currently shows two formats: Feed My Sheep (a 9Marks Partner event, with Alabama and Kansas City listings on November 2, 2026) and Weekender (a Munich, Germany listing on November 12, 2026). The homepage listing gives only the event name, date, location, and a "View details" link, so the practical way to judge fit is to open that detail page for the schedule, registration, and cost. The audience signal comes from the site's overall purpose—"Help us build healthy churches"—and its resources aimed at pastors and church leaders, not from a stated attendee policy on the homepage.

What the homepage actually lists

The events block is short and factual. As of the page captured:

Each entry ends with a "View details →" link. That link is where you should expect to find the agenda, who the event is for, and how to register—the homepage itself does not carry those specifics.

What "9Marks Partner" tells you

The Alabama and Kansas City listings are marked "(9Marks Partner)," while the Munich Weekender is not. That label distinguishes events run with a partner from events listed directly. If you are choosing between them, treat the label as a prompt to check the detail page for who is hosting and what that means for content and registration, rather than assuming the formats are identical.

Who these events are for

The site frames everything around building healthy churches and serves pastors and church leaders through articles, books, a journal, online courses, and a church leadership toolkit. The event listings sit inside that same frame, so the reasonable expectation is that Feed My Sheep and Weekender are aimed at pastors, elders, and church leaders rather than the general public. The homepage does not state eligibility rules, so confirm on the detail page before planning travel—especially for the Munich Weekender, which implies an international audience.

How to check an event before you commit

1. Go to the Upcoming Events section on the 9marks.org homepage.
2. Click "View details →" on the event you are considering.
3. On the detail page, look for the date and time, location and venue, cost, registration deadline, and a schedule or session list.
4. If the detail page is thin, use the site's contact or "Give"/general inquiry channels to ask about audience and capacity.

Expected result: you should be able to answer three questions—Is it for my role? Can I get there on that date? What does it cost and how do I register? If any answer is missing from the detail page, that is a signal to ask before booking.

Common snags

• Same-day events in different cities. Both Feed My Sheep listings fall on November 2, 2026, so you cannot attend both; pick by location.
• Partner events may have separate registration. Because they are labeled as partner events, registration may run through the partner rather than 9Marks—check the detail page rather than assuming a single sign-up flow.
• The homepage is a snapshot. Events change; the listing you see reflects the page at the time it was captured, so re-check dates before making plans.
• No pricing on the homepage. Cost is not shown in the listing, and nothing on the page indicates events are free—confirm fees on the detail page.

Beyond events: the same audience, different formats

If a date or location does not work, the site offers adjacent resources for the same pastor-and-leader audience: free online courses (9Marks Online Courses), the Church Leadership Toolkit, the journal Church Matters Volume XI, and the book Persuasive Preaching. These are not substitutes for the in-person events, but they cover similar ground on church health and leadership and can fill the gap while you wait for the next event near you.
