Local Conferences 2026
Day conferences across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland for local church leaders to explore unity and diversity in the church.
“One new humanity” – that’s what Jesus intended to create through the work of the cross (Ephesians 2:15). In the gospel, Jesus breaks down every barrier between us and unites people of every race, class, personality, and background.
But how do we live out our hard-won unity in Christ? What does it mean for local church life? And how do we live together when we’re so different?
At our 2026 Local Conferences, we will explore and embrace what being one new humanity in Christ truly means.
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.
