Leading Your Church into Growth - Conference
2023-11-28 - 2023-11-30 | Barton Manor Spa Hotel, Preston
THE 5 NORTHERLY SYNODS OF THE UNITED REFORMED CHURCH
Calling all church leaders!
We are very excited to once again to offer places on this very popular and effective church growth conference. We are asking that at least two, or even better three could come from each sending church to be able to get the most from this highly effective course.
The full cost of this course is well over £400, but by the generosity of the national church and the 5 northerly synods we are able to offer the course for free other than travel and personal expenses.
This includes accommodation and food.
Limited places, this is a first-come first-booked policy. To book a place contact ashley@bvurc.org.uk
