You know mental health matters — but you don’t always know where to start.

You’re not alone...

Pastors. Volunteers. Ministry leaders. Counselors.

So many of us are asking the same thing:

  • How do we show up for others when we’re running on empty
  • How do we equip our churches when we’re still learning, too?
  • How do we turn good intentions into practical care that makes a difference?
That’s exactly why the Church Mental Health Summit exists.

Mental health matters in the Church — but most leaders feel under-equipped.

You’re carrying a lot — and still showing up.
Hard conversations, real pain, big needs.  It’s a lot to hold. Without the right tools or support, it’s easy to feel stretched thin or burned out.

You’re not alone. The Church Mental Health Summit is here to equip you with the tools, and encouragement you need to keep going.

It’s more than awareness.
It’s about responding with wisdom and care.

The Church Mental Health Summit is a one-day global event offering practical, faith-informed strategies to help you care with compassion and confidence.

Here's what you can expect:

1. Real Tools for Real Ministry
Access downloadable guides, ready-to-use templates, and training resources that make it easy to equip your team and launch care initiatives.

2. Global Insight with Local Impact
Learn from diverse voices around the world who understand the unique challenges churches face — and how to meet them with compassion and clarity.

3. Community That Gets It
Connect with a growing network of like-minded leaders, volunteers, and caregivers inside our private community space. Ministry doesn’t have to be lonely.

4. Bridge the Gap Between Faith and Mental Health
Explore best practices that help you confidently support emotional and spiritual health — without compromising either. Learn how churches around the world are weaving care into the fabric of their ministries.

5. Long-Term Access, Ongoing Growth
Want to go deeper after the Summit? Explore upgrade options like The Summit Circle and the Church Bundle to keep learning all year long​.
