Key Note Presenter, Guest Preacher

Rev Nadia Bolz-Weber

New York Times bestselling author Nadia Bolz-Weber has been called “a pastor for America’s outsiders” (BBC). Bolz-Weber will be the first to attest that she doesn’t look like most people’s idea of a pastor, but the community of faith she founded in Denver, Colorado - House for All Sinners and Saints - is a haven for a diverse community seeking affirmation and acceptance. But Bolz-Weber’s gospel is not just for spiritual seekers. In a time when institutions of every kind - governments, corporations, universities, churches - are struggling to exert influence and maintain relevance, her House for All Sinners and Saints continues to thrive, especially among Millennials. In her books and talks, Bolz-Weber makes the deeply felt argument that honesty and human connection are key to creating and sustaining community. Learn more about Nadia here.
