We will enjoy input from leading academics, expert practitioners, members of the Growing Faith team, and researchers in the field of Growing Faith. There will also be plenty of opportunities for reflecting on the content together, time for worship and chances to network with delegates across a range of contexts. 
The conference will be helpful to everyone involved in the spheres of church, home and school, both academics and practitioners. There will be a strong focus on school and college chaplaincy.

Evidence is mounting that God is doing something new in the UK. Four independent pieces of research have indicated that millions more people are attending church and many of these are coming to faith for the first time.
This webinar, held in partnership with the College of Archbishops’ Evangelists, will examine how we can best respond to this moment of opportunity, including how to reach out to and welcome those exploring Christianity.
Speakers will include Dr Rhiannon McAleer, Director of Research and Impact at Bible Society, Dr Belle Tindall of the Centre for Cultural Witness and Seen & Unseen website, and Phil Knox, who specialises in evangelism and missiology at the Evangelical Alliance.
 

Rachael Heffer, Head of Mission at Evangelical Alliance, will be sharing the findings and insights from a new piece of research: ‘Finding Jesus – Identifying pathways to faith in adulthood’. This piece of research, overseen by Rachael Heffer and Phil Knox, has surveyed just under 300 adults who have come to faith in the last 5 years and explored with them the who, what, where, when, and how of what influenced them in their exploration of the Christian faith and their decision to follow Jesus.
This is an opportunity for local churches and church unity groups to explore how best to use their resources to help people in our communities come to know Jesus.
