The Clergy Conclave Fall 2026

Fall Gathering 2026 | October 26-28, 2026 | Baltimore, Maryland

“Hey Preacher, I See YOU! A Gathering for the Person Behind the Collar”

This year’s gathering of The Clergy Conclave will focus on ministering to the ministers. Often conferences, events, and gatherings focus on the minister in light of our work, but this year we want to focus on the person carrying the weight of the work. In 1^st Kings 19 God saw Elijah. Worried, wearied, and wrestling yet God does not dismiss Elijah, nor rush the prophet past his humanity. God supplies Elijah with rest, strength, and reassurance. After the victories, after the valleys, and after the vocation – God sees YOU.
