Join us for a morning or exploration, learning, sharing and worship, followed by a free sandwich lunch and opportunity to renew connections and meet new people.

Matt Beckingham will lead us in worship.

Rev Dr Christine Dutton will lead us in learning. Christine is Tutor in Evangelism and Leadership at The Queen's Foundation for Theological Education. A Methodist Minister with experience in teaching and educational consultancy, she also supports the Connexional Transformational Leadership Programme and Community of Evangelists. The slides used in her presentation can be found on this page.

You will also hear latest news of our new internship programme for nurturing young leaders, and feedback from our representatives to this summer's national Methodist Conference where breaking down barriers to effective and inclusive leadership was high on the agenda.
