“This is the first place as a young pastor where I found a small group of men and women who are now lifelong covenant friends. A huge gift of God to me. I need this retreat every year just to relax and reconnect with friends and colleagues who I’ve come to love and trust.”

“This conference is the perfect blend of teaching, formation, and recreation which is why it is sometimes lovingly refered to as pastor camp. I look forward to this week every year!”

“Coming here every year has been such a gift of finding and deepening lifelong friendships, learning from fabulous speakers, and going away with learning I can use all year in sermons. Plus, it’s just totally fun!”

“This is a perfect blend of conference and retreat. I love the speakers, the small group time, the redwood location–all of it enhances my life as a person and a pastor. Can’t wait to go back!”

“I have found an abundance of rest, encouragement, rejuvenation, and joy here.”

“The annual week at Mt. Hermon is an important time for me to reconnect with good friends, learn from gifted scholars, and enjoy restful time.”

“For 40+ years, this conference has been my “go-to” community for support and sharing, learning and laughter that I’ve so deeply needed as a pastor.”

“From my first year attending til now, it’s like a week full of double shots of spiritual espresso, lovely liturgical naps, vital vocational friendships, and lots of laughter. WCPPC is not to be missed; there’s nothing quite like it.”

“This conference is like experiencing the living water of Christ for my thirsty soul. I deeply need a break from my ministry in a beautiful setting, to receive biblical teaching, and to have trusted friends who I can talk to about anything.”
