The Hill Conference

For generations, Trevecca’s hilltop community has been a place where people discover how the best of the Wesleyan-holiness heritage can bring life and hope to contemporary ministry. The Hill Conference will gather in that spirit, bringing together pastors and church leaders around the way Wesleyans might engage ministerially around matters of holiness, mental health and psychology. We’ll hear from leading voices in the Wesleyan tradition, and the work of the conference will continue around tables with other ministerial practitioners as we collaborate to develop new models and possibilities in sessions called Ministerial Makerspaces. You can expect to gain cutting-edge insights and to think creatively alongside others as we forge connections for ministry.

Our time together will include opportunities to hear from keynote speaker Dr. Brad Strawn. A part-time teaching pastor at Pasadena First Church of the Nazarene, Dr. Strawn is the Evelyn and Frank Freed Chief of Spiritual Formation and Integration. He serves at Fuller Seminary as a professor of clinical psychology, chair of the Integration of Psychology & Theology Department and chapel dean. He holds a master’s degree in theology and a Ph.D. in psychology, and has advanced training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
