2026 NNU WESLEY CENTER CONFERENCE EXPLORES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & FAITHFUL MINISTRY

Dec 5, 2025 | Blog

Every February, NNU’s Wesley Center offers a ministry-related conference around various topics for pastors, ministry leaders, laypersons and students. Our 2026 Wesley Center Conference theme is titled “FAIthful?: Artificial Intelligence & Faithful Ministry.”

This event on Thursday and Friday, February 12-13, seeks to balance AI opportunities with concerns in hopes that ministry leaders can utilize artificial intelligence as an effective tool for ministry and discipleship. 

We’re pleased to welcome Jason Moore, founder of Midnight Oil Productions and author of 14 books, including AI and the Church (Invite P 2025). Accolades for Jason’s work in this area include these words from Dr. Leonard Sweet: “AI and the Church is the digital revelation pastors didn’t know they were praying for! [It’s a] must-read for the digitally devout and the technologically timid alike,” as well as this brief AI-generated video for your amusement featuring feedback from some of the greatest leaders in Church history. Conference workshops and other related content will continue to roll out in the months ahead.

Standard registrations of $99 per person end on December 31; and late registrations of $119 end on January 31. Group registrations and an online access pass are also available by clicking here. For more information, please contact wesleyconf@nnu.edu
