Pastor Jim Cymbala, senior pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, and Carol Cymbala, Grammy Award-winning choir director, will host the Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire Conference from October 2 to 4, 2026, in New York City. The conference is designed to refresh and equip those serving in ministry through two specialized tracks: a teaching track for pastors, ministry leaders, and lay workers, and a music track for worship leaders, choir members, and music ministry teams.
Pastor Jim Cymbala, who has pastored for more than five decades, emphasized the conference's purpose: "The Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire Conference is about helping leaders and worship teams go home with a renewed heart and a fresh fire for what God has called them to do." Cymbala is widely recognized for his best-selling works such as Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire, Fan the Flame, and Jesus Every Day, which have inspired pastors and believers worldwide to deepen their commitment to prayer and biblical preaching.
Carol Cymbala, director of the Grammy Award-winning Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, highlighted the importance of music in ministry: "Music is a powerful tool for ministry. My prayer is that every worship leader, singer, and musician who attends will encounter God's presence in a life-changing way." Attendees in the music track will have the rare opportunity to rehearse and sing with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, gaining hands-on experience in a world-class worship environment.
The conference will take place at the Brooklyn Tabernacle, located at 17 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY. Participants can choose between the Leadership/Lay People track or the Worship/Music Ministry track. Registration is available at https://www.brooklyntabernacle.org/fresh-wind-fresh-fire-conference/.
