Mark your calendar for the the 2026 Congo Mission Network Conference, to be Thursday, Aug. 27–Saturday, Aug. 29 in beautiful Montreat, N.C. Our gathering will be at William Black Lodge, conveniently located near the heart of the Montreat Conference Center. This comfortable and welcoming space will serve as both our conference venue and lodging—and for those who can’t come in person, virtual participation is welcome.
Registration Details
Registration for the conference, lodging, and meals will open soon—at very reasonable rates. Rooms at William Black Lodge are $100 per night per room, with options to share accommodations. Meals range from $12–$20 per meal. When booking your room, please use the code CONGO26. A registration link will be shared shortly.
Conference Focus
Together, we’ll explore and strengthen the partnership among colleagues in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the U.S., and beyond. Our partners include the Presbyterian Community of Congo (CPC), Presbyterian Community of Kinshasa (CPK), Christian Medical Institute of Kinshasa (IMCK), Sheppard and Lapsley Presbyterian University of Congo (UPRECO), and various U.S. presbyteries, churches, and individuals.
A Global Connection
In an exciting development, CMN will also host key leaders at the Methodist-Presbyterian Guest House in Kinshasa, where they’ll meet locally in the mornings and join the Montreat sessions virtually each afternoon. These shared conversations promise to deepen relationships and renew our collective mission.
You are an important part of this network—join us in person or on Zoom, August 27–29, 2026! We welcome your feedback as you make plans to participate.
