Brehm Events
The Brehm Center fosters connections among artists, scholars, ministry leaders, and culture-makers through annual conferences.
These events, held at our three locations, center on a yearly theme and feature Brehm faculty specializing in worship, theology, and the arts. Additionally, we host smaller gatherings like film screenings, concerts, and lectures.
Currently, we're exploring ways to expand event accessibility through multisite and livestream conferencing. Explore upcoming conferences and events below.
