At the 2026 Space for Grace & Spiritual Caregivers Conference, we’ll explore storytelling as a transformative practice for ministry. From the parables of Jesus to testimonies and spiritual biographies, stories have always carried the power to shape faith, build bridges, and inspire action. Together, we will discover how storytelling can:

• Liberate – reframing the gospel in ways that spark curiosity and renewal
• Connect – bridging generations and cultures through shared experiences
• Transform – renewing voices, spirits, and courage for ministry today

Through worship, plenary sessions, and interactive learning, you’ll learn from diverse storytellers and traditions while practicing the sacred art of telling stories that change lives and communities.

Join us in Cleveland, April 21–23, 2026, and experience the power of stories that liberate, connect, and transform.

This year’s theme—”Storytelling: Discovering Its Power for Faith Leaders Today”—is inspired by 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 [NRSVue]:

You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by all, and you show that you are a letter of Christ, prepared by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets that are human hearts.      —2 Corinthians 3:2-3 [NRSVue]
