Our Summit theme this year was“Encounter: Spirit of the Living God.” As the active presence of God in the world, the Holy Spirit works in our lives to guide, empower, and transform us. Come and find renewal and refreshment with us as we encounter the Spirit of the living God. We will soon have recordings of our keynote sessions, morning devotionals, and Old Testament and The Chosen Communities for you to listen and reflect on.
featured speakers
Throughout Summit, we had the opportunity to hear from four incredibly talented speakers: Nijay Gupta, Naomi Walters, Jerry Taylor, and Nathan Burrow.
Additionally, United Voice Worship led us in worship throughout Summit.
Additional Gatherings
We were grateful to have three additional gatherings at Summit. Preceding Summit, the Community of Women Ministers gathered for dinner at 5:00 pm in the Hunter Welcome Center. On Thursday afternoon, there was our Chaplains Lunch in the World Famous Bean during the lunch break. Finally, we had a Selah/Spiritual Direction Breakfast at 7:30 am on Friday.

THE VISION FOR SUMMIT
We’re hearing that today’s Christian leaders crave opportunities to gather with others who serve in similar capacities, to encourage one another, and to forge relationships that extend beyond the bounds of a conference schedule. Learn more about these strategic shifts towards community.
