At the 2025 TWK Annual Conference, we will celebrate the presence of the Holy Spirit as we listen to what God is imagining for us as we live into our connectionalism and shared discipleship priorities. Our Guiding Scripture for this annual conference is Ephesians 3:20-21 -

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (NIV)

Ministry Fair | Monday at 4:00-6:00 PM

The Ministry Fair is a space to connect with ministries, organizations, and partners who are making a meaningful impact across the Tennessee-Western Kentucky Conference and beyond.

Exhibitors are grouped by category on this page to help you explore their missions and resources. We invite you to visit each table, ask questions, and discover how you and your congregation might connect more deeply with the ministries of our Church.

Some ministries have also sent us online exhibitor information to share with you.

Worship Offerings

An offering will be received during Opening Worship to support the Tennessee-Western Kentucky Conference’s Disaster Response and Recovery efforts.

During the Service of Licensing, Commissioning, and Ordination, the offering will support the Jerusalem Fund, which provides direct assistance to clergy in need.

Churches may choose to collect an offering so their voting members can bring a check to the annual conference when the offering plate is passed. Cash will also be accepted.

To give electronically, please scan the QR code to access the donations page. Select the appropriate fund from the dropdown menu, Disaster Recovery or Jersalem Fund.

Thank you for your support.
