The annual conference grows each year in its popularity. It brings together leaders from churches with a rural focus to provide fellowship, teaching and an opportunity to share the highs and lows of rural church life. Not to be missed if you are a rural church leader.
Speaker for the weekend - Ian Coffey
Director of Leadership Training at Moorlands Bible College, Dorset.
Ian is a Baptist minister who has led churches in suburban, city-centre and international contexts. He has also served as Director with the Saltmine Trust and the Evangelical Alliance. He was a member of the leadership team of Spring Harvest for nine years and continues that involvement as a Trustee of its Charitable Trust, he is chair of the Board of Spring Harvest Holidays and is a regular speaker at the Keswick Convention and other Christian events.
Conference costs
Rural Ministries as always sought to make the conference accessible to all. It is now our largest single cost of the year. We would like any future subsidies, to be available to those most in need and to ensure children and teenagers can attend. What we ask you to consider is:
"Can your church make a donation (minimum of £50 per person) towards conference costs or meet the full cost of those who attend from your church?"
