June 21-24, 2026, the Bethany Beach Conference Center will host Chautauqua Comes to Bethany Beach, a special Festival of Mind, Body & Spirit filled with worship, music, learning, conversation, and time for rest by the sea.

This year’s theme, You Will Know Them by Their Fruits: Assessing Christian Nationalism, will feature Rev. John Ballenger as preacher and teacher, with music led by singer-songwriter Sarah Williams. With workshops, discussions, evening worship, special music, and youth programming, this promises to be a rich and meaningful few days for all who attend.
