Join your UKirk Network colleagues July 20-23 in beautiful Lake Tahoe for our 2026 UKirk National Gathering at Zephyr Point Conference Center. Our theme this year is “Making Room: Creating Space, Celebrating Curiosity, and Blessing the Spirit’s Work Among Us” and we are thrilled to share that the Rev. Lindsey Hubbard-Groves will be our worship leader. Lindsey served for seven years as the campus minister and executive director of UKirk Nashville before heading to Portland, Oregon, where she has been serving as the Associate Pastor for Congregational Life at Westminster Presbyterian Church since 2023.
We are also excited to invite all who have been serving in their current ministry contexts for three years or less to join us for our New Staff Pre-Conference gathering beginning at 5 pm on Sunday, July 19th and finishing early Monday afternoon, July 20th.
