Local Conferences 2025
Day conferences across England, Wales, and Scotland for local church leaders to explore how the wisdom of Proverbs shapes ministry.
“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 discuss 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.
Booking and food
Attendance is free of charge, but you must still book your place in advance. You can also add an optional £10 donation to your booking to help us cover costs.
Lunch and refreshments are provided during every conference. You can share any dietary requirements when you book.
Dates and venues
Most of the conferences take place from 10am - 3pm, with lunch and refreshments provided. Start and finish times vary (see all of the times below) but even the early finishing conferences will include lunch.
You can find the closest conference to you on the map and list below – they are spread across the country between February and June 2025.
