Conference 2026
MARCH 2-3 + HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC
Join us March 2-3, 2026 at Providence Presbyterian Church in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina for Presbyterians for the Kingdom inaugural conference!
​
The conference theme is “For the Kingdom”, and over the course of our time together we will explore and articulate what we mean to be for the kingdom through our core values of Holiness, Orthodoxy, Perseverance, and Evangelism—for through H.O.P.E., the Spirit continues to sanctify and strengthen the Church, calling her back to faithfulness and forward into mission.
