Whitworth Ministry Summit | Whitworth University

We're taking a break.

For 45 years, it has been our joy to gather and worship with you all on campus. We have decided to hit pause on the Whitworth Ministry Summit. Over the past few summers, the challenges of COVID have pushed us to adapt the event in so many ways that we feel the need to reset and retool the conference so that it can best serve pastors and ministry leaders in this new season. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you all back to campus soon.

In the mean time, we are still hosting on-campus speakers, building new program cohorts, and providing new resources to churches. Stay up to date with all the latest news and events from the Office of Church Engagement by following us on Facebook and Instagram or joining our newsletter.

Conference Format

Future events will likely 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).

The Whitworth Ministry Summit (formerly WIM) has been equipping ministry leaders and building disciples for over 45 years. At Summit you'll find dynamic preaching, vibrant worship, life-changing fellowship and more. But don't just take our word for it.
