About NWPC…
NWMC began as a Presbyterian mission conference for young adults in 1906. It has retained its Presbyterian roots and connections, and has expanded to promote the broader Christian witness in the world. The theme verse from Acts 1:8 (“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth”) highlights the Christian calling to bear witness to Jesus in every place and in every context of our lives.
According to its mission, the New Wilmington Mission Conference’s purpose is to “invite all to be transformed by the Spirit of God, to be inspired, called, equipped and sent into God's mission.”
