johnny hunt men's conference 2026

Strengthen Your Faith. Sharpen Your Focus.

The Johnny Hunt Men’s Conference is designed to challenge and encourage men to grow spiritually, lead boldly, and live with purpose.
Over two powerful days, you’ll hear from dynamic speakers, connect with other men of faith, and walk away with renewed clarity about your identity in Christ.

Keynote Speaker


Our keynote speakers for this year’s conference will be Pastor Johnny Hunt!
Others. That singular focus summarizes the 35 years of contagious passion that “Pastor Johnny” imparted to First Baptist Church Woodstock and the countless lives across the globe his preaching and shepherding have touched. While the church experienced significant growth under his leadership, it is growth of the person, not the platform, that makes an eternal difference.
Foremost among the “others” he lives for are his wife of over 50 years, Janet; his two daughters, Deanna and Hollie; his four grandchildren, Katie, Carson, Hope and Addie and two great-grandchildren.
Pastor Johnny served as the Senior Pastor of First Baptist Woodstock for 33 years. He also served at Lavonia Baptist Church in Mooresboro, North Carolina, Falls Baptist Church in Wake Forest, North Carolina, and his home church, Longleaf Baptist Church in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Pastor Johnny’s educational credits include a BA in Religion from Gardner-Webb College where he was voted “Ministerial Student of the Year” in 1979. He continued onto Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary where he earned a Master of Divinity in 1982. He has also received several honorary Doctorates over the years for his work in ministry.

FOCUS- Finding Your Identity in Christ
MAR 13-14, 2026

*DINNER & BREAKFAST INCLUDED*
Everyone attending the conference needs a ticket. All tickets include a notebook.   We periodically get asked, “What is the recommended age for a young man to attend the Men’s Conference?” The answer depends upon the maturity level of the young man. However, we believe that any young man mature enough to sit through and understand regular adult sermons is old enough. While the subject matter at the Men’s Conference can be mature in nature at times, we also know that our kids are facing these issues at an early age.
