what to expect   

Drawing from her work in children's ministry and her own journey of rethinking inherited beliefs, Meredith will explore what it looks like to pass on a faith that is rooted in love, resilient through change, and honest about doubt.

Her sessions will invite both parents and ministry leaders to move beyond performance-based religion and toward something more life-giving and lasting—for ourselves and for those we lead.

Our workshops are designed to be practical, inspiring, and rooted in real-life ministry and faith experiences. Whether you're leading a church, parenting kids, or simply longing for a deeper spiritual life, these sessions have something for you.

Topics will include:

• Leadership that Listens – leading with empathy, authenticity, and resilience in a changing church culture

• Church that Feels Like Home – practical tools for revitalizing congregations and creating welcoming, intergenerational communities

• Spiritual Formation that Lasts – rethinking discipleship for all ages in a way that nurtures depth, curiosity, and connection

Each workshop is led by thoughtful practitioners who understand both the challenges and the opportunities of shaping a more vibrant, honest, and hopeful Church.

We believe shared meals create space for connection—and we’ve got you covered all day.

Doors open at 8:30 with a continental-style breakfast, complete with pastries, fruit, coffee, and tea. At midday, enjoy a catered lunch with something for everyone. Throughout the day, we’ll have plenty of coffee, water, and snacks on hand to keep you comfortable and energized.

Come hungry—for both good food and good conversation.

We’ll kick things off at 8:30 AM with a light breakfast and time to settle in before the morning session begins. From there, you'll move into engaging workshops, take a break for lunch, enjoy more afternoon workshops, and wrap up the day with a thoughtful closing session.

The cost to attend is just $25, which includes:

• Entrance to all sessions and workshops

• Breakfast, lunch, and snacks throughout the day

• A book of your choice by one of our featured speakers (selected during registration)

It’s a full day—but a good one. Register today to be refreshed, challenged, and encouraged.

If you’re a parent navigating faith, questions, and the weight of raising kids in today’s world—this night is for you.

Join us Friday evening for a special pre-conference gathering just for parents, featuring an intimate conversation with Meredith Miller and Kelsey Kramer McGinnis. This will be a relaxed, encouraging space to listen, ask questions, and connect with others walking a similar path.

You’ll leave with insight, solidarity, and maybe even a little more grace for yourself.

Childcare will be provided—so you can show up fully, without distraction.
