CREDO
The Board of Pensions of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) sponsors Presbyterian CREDO conferences so that PC(USA) ministers may cultivate wholeness — their spiritual, vocational, health, and financial well-being — to better serve the Church.
CREDO is an in-person, weeklong conference focused on ministers’ wholeness and well-being. Each CREDO conference is led by a team of experienced faculty who guide participants in a visioning and discernment process through four key areas of well-being: spiritual, vocational, physical and emotional health, and financial.
Invitations typically go out in late summer to open registration for the following year’s conferences. Seats are limited to 29 participants per conference, and they fill quickly on a first-come, first-served basis.
Participants are awarded 400 Call to Health points for participating in a CREDO conference.
Who’s eligible
Three types of CREDO conferences are regularly offered by the Board. Each is designed to support ministers in a different phase of ministry — recently ordained ministers, mid-career ministers, and late-career ministers. CREDO conferences are by invitation only.
