Faith x Mental Health Conference 2026!
About the conference:
The Faith × Mental Health Conference exists to bridge the gap between spiritual life and emotional wellness.
We know that life can feel heavy, confusing, and lonely—but you don’t have to walk through it alone. This event brings together real stories, professional insight, and Christ-centered hope.
Our heart is simple: that you would leave feeling seen, strengthened, and reminded that Jesus meets you exactly where you are.
Theme verse:
Psalm 30:11 — “You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.”
God is still in the business of restoration.

Come as you are—no masks, no pressure.
Is there childcare?
Yes! Childcare is absolutely available. We’ve created a full children’s experience that mirrors the heart of our conference—hope, joy, and whole-person wellness. While you attend sessions, your children will participate in Christ-centered activities, age-appropriate conversations about emotions, movement breaks, crafts, worship moments, and fun games that help reinforce who God says they are.
Our trained team will provide a safe, welcoming environment so you can relax, learn, and be poured into. We want this day to refresh your entire family, not just the adults.
What is your cancellation/refund policy?
Because our conference is run by a nonprofit, we’re not able to offer refunds. Every registration directly supports our program, supplies, and the resources we provide.
If something unexpected comes up, please reach out—we’ll do our best to work with your family and support you however we can.
Is this a therapy program?
A Pathway to Joy’s conference is not a therapy or clinical program. We do not diagnose, treat, or provide professional mental-health services.
