Inaugural Virtual Conference · All Are Welcome
Called. Equipped.
Sent.
Born out of a paradigm shift — emerging leaders, social media influencers, authors, community leaders, and new ministers evolving from the physical church and into non-traditional online platforms.
We are a monthly virtual conference and the official certifying body for these emerging leaders — educating, equipping, and genuinely welcoming them into their calling and community. Each month, through conferences and various certification programs, we engage vetted influencers, leaders, and ministers of faith — affirming their readiness and verifiable credentials to virtually lead.
Every attendee leaves refreshed, empowered, educated, and equipped — showing up with clarity, confidence, and grace in every community they touch.

"This is your moment.
Your calling is real."
Our Vision
Too many social media influencers of faith, authors, community leaders, and new ministers step into their calling alone — without community, without guidance, without a space to be seen and affirmed. The New Ministers Conference™ (NEWM) exists to change that.
Born out of a paradigm shift — emerging leaders, social media influencers, authors, community leaders, and new ministers evolving from the physical church building and into non-traditional online settings: Instagram, TikTok, and other digital platforms to inspire others. We are a monthly virtual conference and the official certifying body for these emerging leaders — educating, equipping, and genuinely welcoming them into their calling and community. Each month, vetted influencers, leaders, and ministers of faith receive certification affirming their readiness to lead online.
