We’re here and we’re queer.
We know the state of Texas is a hostile environment for queer folks. So why hold a conference in Texas? NSP is a national and international conference, but our roots are in Texas, and we are determined to keep showing up in the world boldly. While we continue to take a stand, we also value your safety! Despite Texas’ reputation, Austin has been ranked one of the top 40 most LGBTQ+ friendly cities in the country.
“The single most guaranteed soul and mind-refreshing conference I attend each year. I learn, I connect; I get nourished, inspired, challenged, tickled, and deeply moved, year in and year out. Keep up this essential, life-giving work, Friends!”
— JAIME CLARK-SOLES
“NSP privileges voices that I need to hear. I come away challenged and inspired.”
— LAURA STEPHENS-REED
Hope. Delight. Worship. Renewal.
— ISABEL DOCAMPO
“Amplifying the voices of women in church/pastoral leadership in a world of hierarchal and patriarchal power structures is courageous and brilliant. This is why I go, support it and love this conference. It is important work.”
— MARTA FIORITI
“I have loved every single year. I walk away refreshed and connected!”
— SARAH MILLER
Safe, sacred space to celebrate and be celebrated.
— @YOGI.MSHAC
“As a (privileged) white cis woman, I have been blessed, challenged and encouraged to hear and experience the voices of my non-white, non-cis sisters. My eyes and heart have been opened. These sisters have embraced my inexperience in being with those in the margins and taught me with grace and patience. NSP is a must for anyone who feels called to do ministry.”
— MANDI HOCKENSMITH RICHEY
Authenticity. Acceptance of my calling as a female minister, without adherence to masculine ministry models. Demonstrations of excellence in ministry.
Unconfined Collaboration!
