Guided by our theme of “Repair, Release, Renew,” we will collectively explore the call to speak and act in places of torn hearts, fractured communities, and broken systems. When ought we repair? What ought we release? How do we renew? As we highlight excellent preaching, hone our homiletic skills, and build community through workshops, meals, sermons, and worship, we will celebrate both student and seasoned preachers and their sacred callings.

Traveling from out of town? Act now to reserve a room at the nearby Residence Inn, 1108 W. Main St, Durham. The special group rate is $169. Note that you must reserve your room no later than September 5 to access the group rate.

Our Vision: We believe hundreds of Christian clergywomen in North Carolina are faithfully and creatively engaging in ministries where they proclaim the Word of God, week after week. In an ecumenical spirit of love and collegiality, we will lift up the voices of local clergywomen (trans/cis) to encourage and inspire; share and learn; and to hone our craft. Together we will hear wonderful preaching from conference attendees and have time for group conversations on the art of proclamation in all its forms. We will pray, worship, and celebrate together.
