During the late 1970s, a number of conferences were held by various Charismatic groups within various Protestant and Catholic denominations including Notre Dame and Glencoe Conferences. This led to Vinson Synan, Kevin Ranagan, and Vernon Stoop and other leaders of these various groups to join together in 1985 to host conference to unite the various Charismatic renewal ministries. They formed a new committee to host the ecumenical conferences called the North American Renewal Service Committee (NARSC). Vinson Synan served as the Chairman. Together, they hosted conferences in the following years:
1986 - New Orleans
1987 - New Orleans
1988 - San Antonio
1990 - Indianapolis
1995 - Orlando
2000 - St. Louis
