Creating our church's future story together

Join us for a gathering designed to spark fresh hope and practical momentum for your church’s future. This event brings together honest, encouraging stories from people who have seen God at work in their communities, alongside proven tools and accessible resources to help you nurture deeper discipleship, engage with your community, and reach more people with confidence and wisdom. Come ready to listen, learn, and be inspired—leaving not just uplifted, but equipped to help your church grow spiritually, missionally, and numerically in meaningful, sustainable ways.

The event will include:

• Spending time with God together;
• Discovering what's working: hearing stories of God at work from around the north of England;
• Exploring tools for growth planning: how to use Our Church's Future Story to discover God's plan for your church;
• Workshops for your context, whether you're a steward in a rural chapel or a busy Superintendent encouraging growth planning in all your circuit churches.

If you're part of the Darlington, Newcastle, Yorkshire North and East or Yorkshire West Methodist Districts, this conference is free to attend and includes lunch. The venue has parking and is walking distance from the railway station. Save the date and register now to let us know you're coming.
