Who Are We?
The ATL Festival of Young Preachers is a diverse, intentional, and safe space curated for the sole purpose of helping young preachers. In addition to providing guidance, mentorship, and networking opportunities, we also seek to build community among young clergy. Not only that, but we want to help teammates in ministry experience the very real benefits of hearing different voices. This is not just another preaching conference, but this is a movement. This is a family. This is a major responsibility, and this is a calling.
