★ Members Only Where Wounds Become Doorways
This summer, we gather again around stories that dare to name what we often carry in silence. Our 2026 Conference theme, "Wounded Wholeness: Suffering and Theological Imagination," invites us into the sacred geography where our deepest struggles meet God's transforming presence. We'll wrestle alongside Jacob in the liminal darkness, learn radical love through Matthew's impossible ethic, and discover with Thomas that some truths can only be known through touch. Dr. Amy McLaughlin-Sheasby will guide us as keynote speaker, while our Epic Telling weaves threads between Ezekiel's visions and Revelation's hope. Early bird registration opens now exclusively for members — three full days of workshops, worship, and the kind of fellowship that reminds us why stories matter. Scholarships available for those who need them, because every voice belongs in this circle. Register Now | ||
Your Workshop, Our CommunityThe heart of every conference beats strongest in our workshops — those sacred spaces where teaching becomes transformation and learning feels like coming home. We're seeking leaders who understand that the best workshops don't just share information; they create experience. Perhaps you have wisdom for care-worn pastors, creative approaches for young storytellers, or ways to help beginners find their voice. Maybe you know how drama unlocks scripture, or how stories can heal in hospitals and prisons. Whatever your gift, if it connects to biblical storytelling and serves our shared mission, we want to hear from you. Proposals are due February 22. Questions find their way to Kathy Culmer, who delights in connecting vision with opportunity. Submit Your Proposal | ||
