Summer Conference 2023

Reaching Out Together: Overcoming Generational Divides & Making Jesus Known

Are there tensions or fractures in your church between the older and younger generations? Perhaps you’re a church leader whose cultural insights are rejected by your younger members. Or maybe you left your parents’ church because your calling and gifts were not recognised. What if there was a way for us to work together to make Jesus known in this great city?

Join us for the Reaching Out Together conference, where we'll bring together older and younger generations of Christians from Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and elsewhere, to listen to one another’s pain, longings and dreams, learn from each other's experiences, and co-create practical solutions.

This isn't about long presentations from experts. Instead, we'll be facilitating dialogue and collaboration between delegates, adopting a problem-solving framework that empowers everyone to generate practical ideas for how we can bridge the gap between different generations and cultures, and work collaboratively to share our faith with people from all backgrounds in London.

This conference is likely to be the first step in a longer journey , but our goal is for you to leave with a renewed sense of hope, practical ideas, and a deeper commitment to reach out together – making Jesus known to the diverse peoples of London.

Sign up today for this unique opportunity to connect with other believers, learn from their experiences, and work together to make Jesus known.
