Montreat Conference Center

Current Conferences

“Come to the Waters”

For everyone committed to worship in the church – pastors, musicians, choir members, worship committee members, children, and youth.

The Presbyterian Association of Musicians (PAM) sponsors two Worship and Music Conferences at Montreat Conference Center each summer. These conferences provide opportunities for sharpening skills and adhere to the principles of Reformed worship. The conferences are designed for everyone committed to worship in the church – pastors, musicians, choir members, worship committee members, children, and youth. In 2009, our worship, our work, and our play will focus on the Biblical water stories as they are presented in various passages of the three-year lectionary cycle.
