ACTIVATE: AN INVITATION TO MAKING
FEBRUARY 26–28, 2026

Conferences and the arts can sometimes feel lofty, academic, or distant from everyday life. ACTIVATE is designed to push against that. Together, we will explore the deep intellectual and theological foundations of making—and then help you put those ideas into practice in ways that enrich your life, your church, and your community. With keynote speakers Esther Lightcap Meek and Andy Squyres, ACTIVATE invites you to step more fully into your own creative calling, because your community needs the art you bring. This gathering offers extended time in smaller groups with local artist-presenters, giving you space to apply what you learn, experiment together, and imagine what God might be calling you to create next! Registration is open now at FirstPresGreenville.org/events. Join us!

Worship & Music, Susan Messer
