Festival of Wisdom and Grace

A conference for finding purpose and renewal in the second half of life

Held annually, the Festival of Wisdom and Grace invites participants to explore how we flourish as we age and how we navigate transitions, live into our talents and passions and cultivate our relationship with Christ.  In 2024, we will explore the theme "Wesleyan Roots" and enjoy worship, workshops, recreation, entertainment, learning and plenty of time for fellowship. Our keynote speaker for the event is Dr. Ashely Boggan D., and our conference preacher will be Bishop Lawson Bryan.  You will also have time to explore Lake Junaluska and enjoy the gardens and places of meditation, lakeside trail and more.
