What is different about PSYCM?
We’re not merely a conference. We’re a school for faith formation ministries. It’s right there in the name. We enable a robust community of learning where every participant is empowered to share their experiences, contexts, successes and failures. Spanning four decades of ministry training, we’re a trusted partner for congregations and leaders investing in the next generation.

Every January, you’ll find pastors, age-ministry veterans, volunteers, freshly-installed program ministry leaders, interns, seminarians, respected authors and academic researchers all gathered together in our shared spaces to learn and grow. Join us!

We create space for you to find your people, your purpose, and to experience the practical ministry conversations that will fuel you for what’s next.
