Montreat Conference Center - Calling all leaders of small-membership churches!

Wee Kirk Conference - October 20-22， 2025. Visit montreat.org／wee-kirk.
Small Churches Can Make a Big Difference! We know that pastors serving small-membership churches encounter many unique challenges as they seek to educate， inspire， and lead their congregations. However， we also know that serving a smaller congregation can be super rewarding when you have the right support. That’s where the Wee Kirk comes in! This conference brings together leaders from small- membership churches so that they can find inspiration， encouragement， and community among those serving the church in similar capacities. Keep reading to see how Wee Kirk can impact your ministry， or visit our website to register today.

Track Options - A highlight of Wee Kirk’s programming is its track system. Conferees each choose a single track that they will participate in for the duration of the conference. These tracks are based on specific scenarios that leaders of small churches frequently encounter. Read the summaries of each track below to find one that interests you! Barnabas Track “The Pastor in a Secular Age” Being a pastor is no easy task in our time. In this track， Rev. Dr. Andrew Root will encourage participants to go beyond the symptoms and explore why many pastors find themselves in an identity crisis. Note： This track option begins on Sunday evening. Creative Worship Track “Exploring Worship that’s Welcoming!” Rev. Burns Stanfield will facilitate an exploration of worship as a way to engage hearts， build community， and practice faithful living. Leadership Track “Making Room at the Table” During this track， Rev. Dr. George B. Thompson Jr. and Rev. Dr. Beverly A. Thompson will help participants identify and practice ways to extend hospitality and generosity to those outside the walls of their congregations.
Spiritual Formation Track “Welcoming Scripture and Prayer” Rev. Dr. Martha Friz Langer and Rev. Dr. Mark Friz will help participants explore creative ideas and tools to spark new interest in scripture and prayer in their congregations. Retreat Track Many people come to Montreat’s Wee Kirk Conference simply to enjoy the fellowship of other believers in the beauty of Montreat. To encourage this， we have created a special “retreat track” that includes all of the worship and plenary presentations， but does not include participation in a structured track. Instead， use this time for personal prayer， recreation， and spiritual renewal.
Registration is open! - Read more about track options， leadership， or explore housing and rate options by visiting our website.
