ReNew November 2025

Join us for ReNew hosted by the Northampton District Mission Team. It's a day for anyone, whether you're a part of the Northampton District or further afield. It is a day for anyone who finds themselves serving in the life of the local church or is spiritually curious and wants to engage more. ReNew is a special place of worship, Bible study, and engaging sessions that will equip, resource, and ultimately... ReNew you for the journey ahead.

So whether you're a local preacher, lay worker, steward, local pastor or serving in the local church (there are so many roles that are too many to list that include you), this day is for you!

Our theme for this ReNew will be rediscovering hope. In a world, nation and even local context that sometimes can feel fractious and weary. This day promises to help you to rediscover hope and see how you are a part of God's story and there is a new song to sing.
