Homegrown: NC Women’s Preaching Festival 2026!

Homegrown 2026
Cross Pollination: Shared Wisdom across places, spaces, and identities
November 5th, 2026
Trinity Avenue Presbyterian
Durham, NC

This year, HOMEGROWN returns as a one-day gathering, bringing together clergywomen from across North Carolina for a full day of preaching, worship, learning, and fellowship. Centered on the theme “Cross-Pollination: Shared Wisdom Across Places, Spaces, & Identities,” we’ll gather to share experiences, exchange ideas, and foster meaningful connections across communities, traditions, and lived experiences. Join us to discover how the gifts we cultivate in one place can take root and flourish in another.

Registration coming soon…

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.
