Local Conferences 2024

During the first six months of 2024 we will be holding 27 local conferences at venues across the country. We are picking up an aspect of our 2023 Leaders’ Conference: how we minister as those justified by grace.

Programme

We believe in justification by grace alone, through faith alone – that forms the core of our message. But how does that message change how we do ministry?

How does it combat the drift towards ‘proving ourselves’ by our ministry? How does it change how we live and lead as teams of elders, staff, and others?

We will explore these questions together alongside time for fellowship, prayer, and eating together.

Who should attend?

These conferences are not just for pastors!

There is value in leadership teams coming together to these kinds of events, so we hope that the local nature of the conferences will allow teams of leaders to join us from local churches.

We would encourage pastors to invite and bring whoever they think may find the conference helpful: women in ministry, elders, deacons, ministry wives, youth workers, or others.

Please do feel free to encourage other local pastors – including those who are not affiliated with FIEC but who would share our gospel heart - to attend a local conference with you.

Dates and venues

Most of the conferences take place from 10am - 3pm, with lunch and refreshments provided, though some finish at 1:30pm (see all of the times below).

You can find the closest conference to you on the map and list below – they are spread across the country between February and June 2024.

If the one nearest to you is not on a suitable date please do book for another one nearby.

Booking and food

Attendance is free of charge, but you must still book your place in advance. You can also give an optional £10 donation when booking to help us cover costs.

A meal and refreshments are provided during the conference. You can share any dietary requirements when you book.
