Do you love playing board games? Have you ever wondered about the intersection of tabletop games and Christian formation? Then you should join us for our first ever Theology of Play Conference as we worship, learn, play games, and explore how a theology of play can change the way you see faith, your ministry and Christian formation.

TOPCON! is the Theology of Play Conference, hosted by a partnership between the Office of Christian Formation in the Presbyterian Mission Agency (PCUSA) and Menucha Retreat and Conference Center. The first TOPCON! will be held on November 18th through November 21 at Menucha, located atop of the Columbia River Gorge in Corbett, Oregon (20 minutes outside of Portland). During our time, we will worship, learn from speakers, play lots of games, and explore how a theology of play can change the way you see faith, your ministry and Christian formation.
