Ist weekend - Southport, 14-16 November
2nd Weekend - Eastbourne, 21-23 November
Website - http://www.youthworkconference.co.uk/
Fresh expressions of church are springing up across the land, but how does this new way of being church impact on those involved in youth ministry and those reaching out to teenagers? And can a youth group or congregation now be seen as ‘real’ church? Ben Gardner, who leads a youth project in Suffolk and is a member of the national Fresh Expressions team, will be at the lunchtime reception on each Saturday with other Fresh Expressions staff, talking about new ways of being church and an exciting new venture called Pioneer Ministry. There will be loads of freebies and DVDs to get your teeth into. | |
