2027 National Worship Conference

Worship Matters – Encounter, Explore, Embody.

July 15-18, 2028
Kitchener, Ontario

Worship matters because it is a heart thing. It is where we encounter the sacred, connect with God and one another, and express the faith that shapes our lives. But worship also matters in the details: the music we choose, the words we speak and sing, the rituals we share, and the thoughtful decisions that shape how we gather. The National Worship Conference invites us to explore both the why and the how of worship—to celebrate the ways music and liturgy move us, while asking meaningful questions about language, inclusivity, the impact of colonialism, tradition, and whose voices are heard or missing. How we plan and lead worship is not simply about what we do; it shapes who feels welcome, how we understand God, and how faith takes root in our lives. Together, we will encounter the heart of worship, explore its possibilities, and embody a worship that is intentional, inclusive, meaningful, and alive.
