Registration for CBTE 2027 – Now Open!

Registration is now open for the CBTE 2027 Gathering.

  • Registration fee: $250 USD
  • On-site accommodation at Franciscan Renewal Center (FRC) (3 nights, Jan. 24–27): $350 USD per room (total for all 3 nights)
  • Registration deadline: January 4, 2027

Registration fee includes access to all plenary, small-group, and unconference sessions. Accommodation rate includes all meals from Sunday dinner through Wednesday lunch. Many rooms have two beds and can be shared to save costs.

Use the form below to register for the conference. See Register for On-site Accommodations below to book on-site accommodations at the FRC.

Please note: The FRC operates as a retreat center, not a hotel:

  • Registered conference participants may share a room for no extra charge.
  • Each additional guest staying with you at the Center but not participating in the conference (e.g., partner, child, friend) must purchase a meal package for conference duration at $180 USD.
  • It is not possible to book single meals or single night accommodation for the gathering. Both are purchased from the FRC by the event organizers as a package.

The CBTE 2027 Gathering is organized in collaboration with the CBTE Lead Team and generously subsidized by Northwest Seminary’s Lilly Endowment-funded PROPEL project.
