FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why should I attend the Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire Conference?2026-06-30T09:15:40-04:00

The Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire Conference is designed for pastors, elders, deacons, missionaries, and lay people as well as choir directors, choir members, worship leaders, and worship team members—and anyone who desires a fresh move of God in his or her life, church, or the church at large. Through prayer, worship, biblical teaching, and fellowship, attendees will be encouraged, refreshed, and challenged to seek the Lord in a deeper way. Whether you serve in ministry or are simply hungry for more of God, our prayer is that you will leave renewed in your faith and strengthened for the season ahead.

What makes the Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire Conference different from other Christian conferences?2026-06-30T11:43:56-04:00

The Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire Conference reflects the heart of the Brooklyn Tabernacle’s ministry: prayer, worship, and dependence on the Holy Spirit. While attendees will receive practical biblical teaching and encouragement, the primary goal is for believers to seek God together and believe Him for a fresh move of His Spirit in our individual lives and churches. We pray that attendees will leave not only informed but transformed—encouraged in their faith, refreshed in their walk with Christ, and equipped for the days ahead.

Who can attend?2026-06-22T09:39:43-04:00
