Discover practical tools for spiritual and numerical growth

Whether you’re rooted in a bustling city parish or serving in a quiet rural village, our three-day residential conferences provide a focused, faith-filled environment where clergy and lay leaders come together to learn, reflect, and grow.

Grounded in the 7 Steps of Church Growth, the programme is designed for churches of every size, tradition, and context, with the aim of inspiring and enabling growth at your own pace, in your own way, and with God’s help. Together we’ll look at real-life themes like building a culture of prayer, sharing faith with confidence, and helping seekers take their next steps as disciples.
