The Event

We are celebrating our 5th annual Way of The Storytellers in Tennessee! WOTS was started in 2018 by the creative arts ministry Storytellers to encourage Christian Storytellers in their Biblical responsibilities and the craft of storytelling. The Conference gave creators a place to pitch their ideas the first year and has expanded to providing a place for training and premieres in subsequent years. We will hold our next event from October 17-23, 2022 in Collegedale, TN.

TICKETS

From screenings to book signings to project announcements, we are changing stories in just 6 day!
