Who is your neighbor? Explore hospitality for small congregations at Wee Kirk! - Pastors who serve small-membership churches encounter many unique challenges as they seek to educate, inspire, and lead their congregations. During the Wee Kirk Conference, we hope to support these leaders and their ministries through engaging track sessions, faithful worship, and fellowship. In particular, this year we will be focusing on the importance of hospitality and the role that small churches play in their communities.

Ordained and installed at Westminster in February of 2013, Audrey has lived out her call and identity as the pastor of a church that is “small in number but mighty in the Spirit.” Audrey believes that small church ministry is not dying church ministry, and she has a passion for helping other pastors discern their call and ministry.

New This Year: Biblical Track - Dr. Christopher Holmes will lead this new offering which explores the book of Revelation and how it can be a vital resource for worship and faith.
