We'll See You Next Year!

June 23-25, 2020

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first ever virtual event at the 2020 Whitworth Ministry Summit. You can still register for access to the recorded sessions from the event. We hope that this content will equip you for this season of ministry and fill you with renewed hope. We think it is more important than ever to dig deep into biblical notions of lament & hope as we all grapple with a rapidly changing and suffering world.

The world is broken, we lament.

Jesus is Lord, we have hope.

Conference Format

Our redesigned virtual conference will feature keynote addresses with additional panel discussions, live Q&A sessions and a few opportunities for small group connections over the three days. Access will be provided via Zoom and the sessions will all be recorded and available to revisit after the conference has concluded.

As an added bonus for attendees, we are offering pre-recorded lectures from local ministry leaders in the days and weeks following our virtual gathering. They will cover topics like mental health, lament and hope in the Psalms, immigration, and pastoring through grief and loss.

Each session will help us consider how to engage more creatively in the essential practice of lament as we face suffering on the local, national and global scale, and at the same time, enable us to embrace Christian hope as we confront the overwhelming problems in our communities and world.
