Thank you for joining us for the 2021 Whitworth Ministry Summit! It was truly a joy to gather and worship with you all on campus again. We hope you will join us next year in June for more fellowship and worship rooted in the good news of Jesus Christ.
Stay up to date with all the latest news and events from the Office of Church Engagement by following us on Facebook and Instagram.
Summit 2021 will take place in a hybrid format, inviting attendees both online and in person for Bible teaching, worship, preaching, fellowship, and afternoon seminars and panel discussions. Access to streaming content will be available via Zoom, and all sessions will be available to revisit after the conference has ended. In-person attendees will gather on Whitworth University's campus in the Seeley G. Mudd Chapel with coffee hour and lunch included (all necessary social distancing protocols will be adhered to for the safety of our attendees and staff).
Each session will help us consider how to remain faithful to God and continue in his good works in the aftermath of the pandemic and amid an increasingly hostile political atmosphere. We hope to encourage pastors and ministry leaders to be innovative and courageous in their ministry and discipleship.

"I have been to the Summit twice before and have always said when I go back home: "the preaching was the most extraordinary preaching I've ever heard in my life". And it is true, each year is the best."
“What I found was a transformative experience with a group of pastors and leaders excited to engage with one another, and content that had deep, important real-world meaning. It is not a stretch to say that my ministry will shift because the Summit"
