Brooklyn Tabernacle's Pastor Jim Cymbala 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 aims to refresh and equip those serving in ministry through two distinct tracks: a teaching track for pastors, ministry leaders, lay workers, and anyone seeking spiritual renewal, and a music track for worship leaders, choir members, and music ministry teams.
Pastor Jim Cymbala, who has led the Brooklyn Tabernacle for more than five decades, emphasized the importance of the conference for ministry leaders. “I've had the privilege of pastoring for more than five decades, and I know firsthand the challenges and blessings of ministry. 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,” he said.
The conference will feature dynamic worship services and practical ministry insights tailored to each track. Attendees in the music track will have the unique opportunity to rehearse and sing with the Grammy Award–winning Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, gaining hands-on experience in a world-class worship environment. Carol Cymbala, who has led the choir to seven Grammy Awards, noted, “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.”
Pastor Jim Cymbala is widely recognized for his best-selling books, including 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. His ministry has had a global impact, with books sold in millions of copies and translated into multiple languages.
