About the conference

Passionate about seeing your community transformed through the work of YOUR church?
Come to the Community Mission Conference and be inspired and resourced.

There will be a variety of ways to learn together and meet people in a similar place to you; with inspirational speakers, practical workshops, a resources area and a chance for you to share the successes and struggles of mission on the front line. There will also be worship led by people involved in community work as well as time for prayer.

The programme will tackle issues such as keeping our Christian faith strong whilst staying engaged in our communities, how to take the first steps in community engagement and staying passionate when the easiest thing to do would be to give up.
