The Society for Pentecostal Studies welcomes you to the official information center for our 2026 Annual Meeting. The host of this meeting is Baylor University in Waco, Texas. The meeting will begin on the morning of Thursday, March 12 and ends on Saturday evening of March 14, 2026. The Annual Meeting provides the opportunity for professionals involved in Pentecostal research to share knowledge and new directions in research and practice. Approximately 300 program sessions are convened during the three-day meeting held every spring to provide participation venues and networking outlets for Pentecostal educators and scholars.
The meeting will begin with parallel sessions on Thursday morning and end with a banquet on Saturday night.
Along with plenary, and Interest Group sessions, the conference includes a Thursday evening reception, working-lunch meetings, a Society business meeting, a women’s breakfast, a students’ luncheon, and a banquet. During the conference, attendees will have many opportunities to socialize, become acquainted with other SPS participants, and share their scholarly interests and current work. Attendees will also enjoy discounted prices on a variety of books and other products exhibited by vendors and ministries.
Attendees are encouraged to join the Society for Pentecostal Studies before or during the meeting, but membership is not necessary to register for the meeting. Presenters for SPS sessions (other than specially invited guests), however, are required to be members of SPS.
