Local Conferences 2025
During the first six months of 2025 we will be holding 31 local conferences at venues across the country.
“Lord, give us wisdom…”
Asking for wisdom is one of the most common prayers by a church leader. We’re faced with difficult situations and the way forward isn’t always clear, so we ask for wisdom.
God has given us such wisdom in the book of Proverbs, and we’ll be exploring how it might shape our ministry.
We will explore this topic 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.

Most of the conferences take place from 10am - 3pm, with lunch and refreshments provided, though start and finish times vary (see all of the times below).
