Our History

In 1972, a group of Presbyterian pastors decided to meet every year to share and pray for one another and be challenged by excellent Bible and pastoral teaching. The vision was to be in covenant with each other. The Young Presbyterian Pastors Conference was born at Forest Home. Soon, the conference was moved north to Mount Hermon as a more central location and eventually, the name was changed to West Coast Presbyterian Pastors Conference. Over time, the conference began to draw pastors from across the USA for a week of rest, reflection among colleagues, and Biblical and theological teaching. For over fifty years, a variety of speakers have challenged us as we have sought to be faithful in our ministries. Through it all, the core vision of WCPPC has remained and been renewed on the West Coast by generations of Presbyterian pastors everywhere.
