Leading Your Church into Growth is an excellent course helping churches to be intentional in their mission and growth. We are holding one especially for estate churches at Swanwick from 5th – 7th June, 2019. This is a great event. Join with people from estate churches from across the country. The Course is led by a team of women and men who are experienced estate church leaders.

These gatherings are where then future dreams of the movement begin to hit the ground as we discuss big issues and share our practice from around the country. Network animator Tim Lea shares: God’s Spirit is on the move in a whole variety of new, exciting and different ways. We want to continue to join in with that movement as it evolves and changes. The gathering is open to anyone who is interested in connecting and networking with fellow practitioners in fresh expressions of church and those who are involved in enabling and advocating for them. You might be leading a Messy Church, setting up a network of new Missional Communities, pioneering in whole new context, leading a project, trying to deliver the mixed economy across an area or embedding Fresh Expressions within a church organisation/denomination. If any of those sound like you, why not come along? Our theme will be Connecting: connecting with God, each other and across the FX movement.
