Each spring, Guy Orbison, Jr., minister for the Durango congregation, hosts an annual workshop for preachers. The next Workshop is scheduled for April 26-28 on the epistle of 1 John. Although directed toward preachers in the Rocky Mountain region, other men from various states come to the annual event.

Primarily the workshop emphasizes expository preaching and how to accomplish it. Each year, Orbison and Denny Petrillo, an instructor at the Bear Valley Bible Institute of Denver, take the workshop participants through a study of a New Testament book. Other speakers are invited to present uplifting messages to inspire and encourage those who attend.

Conducted for the past twelve years in a rustic lodge some twenty-five miles north of Durango, the men arrive on a Thursday afternoon and leave early on Saturday morning. This allows a preacher the opportunity to come without missing any teaching appointments at his home congregation. Several men from the Durango congregation prepare some five meals for all those who attend each year.
