About the

Conference

The UK stands at a key moment in its history and needs the Gospel more now than at any other time.   But how do we bring this glorious message of hope at a time when churches are closing, and secularism   and indifference has taken such a hold? This conference aims to bring a much-needed stimulus and   practical encouragement to reenergising evangelism, church growth, revitalising, replanting and new   planting across our nation.

  • Come and hear stories of new life in secular Europe.

  • Seminars and workshops on evangelism, leadership, growing churches, church planting & replanting by highly experienced & gifted leaders.

  • Learn from the Bible and one another on how to effectively engage in your context.

  • Hear from Dietrich Schindler, one of Europe's leading church planters, bringing a message of hope and challenge for the UK church.

  • Practical advice on evangelising your community, reaching out to neighbours, friends and colleagues.

  • A full children's and youth programme throughout the conference.

​It is non-denominational and open for everyone, including individuals and whole church groups who want to be inspired to get into evangelism in their communities, or may be open to even joining a church plant or replant in their locality. The main thing will be evangelism which we all need whether established churches or new plants.
