Envisioning the next generation of gospel workers
Friday 10th January - Sunday 12th January 2020
Ashburnham Place, Battle, TN33 9NF
We have a vision to see healthy Anglican churches across the whole of England.
To see this, we need a whole generation of new gospel workers - pastors, women’s workers, evangelists, youth workers and so on. Could that include you?
We recognise that men and women need help navigating the best way for them to serve the Lord Jesus. Questions you might be asking include:
- Is set-aside gospel ministry for me?
- What training do I need?
- How will this affect my family?
- What about the uncertainties in the Church of England?
We want to give you the best possible support as you work these things out for yourself.
More than that, we want to connect you with a whole network of the next generation of gospel workers who share this godly ambition of seeing people saved to the glory of God through thousands of healthy Anglican churches.
So this year we are meeting for just 48 hours to help those exploring full-time, set aside gospel ministry in an Anglican context. We will hear talks from the Bible from Marc Baker (Kea Church Truro), Denesh Divyanathan (The Crossing Church Singapore), Brian Elfick (St Philemon’s Toxteth), Richard Leadbeater (Kings Church Guildford), and William Taylor (St Helen Bishopsgate). We will have useful optional seminars, panels, Q&A and plenty of time to pray. And we also arrange to have a good number of wise church leaders at every stage of experience on hand for you to talk with in confidence about anything you like.
The conference is open to anyone who comes with their church leader’s blessing. We hope you will join us!
