The 2026 Faith and Culture Conference brings together scholars, practitioners, and community members to discuss disability, neurodivergence, and the church. The conference features keynote addresses from Dr. Grant McCaskill, Lightfoot Professor of Divinity at Durham University and Dr. Thomas Boehm, Director of Wheaton Center for Faith and Disability at Wheaton College and Founder & Director of Faith for ALL.

In addition to the keynotes, the event will host paper panels and workshops with presentations from PBA students, disability ministries, and Dr. Lamar Hardwick, the “Autism Pastor.”  These discussions are intended to create meaningful dialogue and provide practical resources for church and community leaders and everyone interested in the intersection of faith and disability.

During the workshops and panel presentations, local vendors and support services will be set up to share about the work they do to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers. Join us on the Baxter Green to engage with the excellent work of these local organizations.

On the evening of February 19, we invite you to join us for an inclusive worship service led by PBA faculty, staff, and students. This will be an opportunity to engage insights from the day’s presentations and experience worship from new points of view.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 2026 Faith and Culture Conference: Reimagining Wholeness and Holiness.

The conference is a joint effort between PBA’s Community Transformation Center and the School of Ministry.
