The Network of Biblical Storytellers’ Festival Gathering is a four day immersion experience of biblical storytelling with performances, opportunities for biblical scholarship through the NBS Seminar, lively fellowship and amazing worship and workshops!
Fabulous keynote presentations from the best performance criticism biblical scholars in the world, hands-on workshops for every level of storyteller from beginner to master storyteller, amazing performances from our featured storytellers and national and international member storytellers, deep-well worship, an Epic telling of an entire book of the Bible and the best fellowship you’ll ever experience at any conference is what defines our amazing, four-day international conference we lovingly call our Festival Gathering.
"Biblical storytelling has been the most transformative practice in my relationship with the Scriptures."
Rev. Jim Kulma, Lutheran, OH
