We are delighted to welcome a range of speakers and contributors who we believe carry encouraging, challenging and inspiring messages for our network. However, views and opinions expressed by our speakers during these days are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of New Wine generally. We value the diversity of perspectives shared and encourage delegates to engage with and reflect upon the content thoughtfully and prayerfully.

Refreshments

Tea and coffee will be provided throughout the day. We kindly ask that you bring a reusable mug, if possible, to help reduce the use of paper cups.

Prayer Ministry

As part of the event, we’ll be making space to pray for one another. To ensure that all are prayed for in a safe and honouring way, we ask that if you wish to pray for others at the event you complete the New Wine Prayer Ministry training online beforehand.

Prayer Ministry Training must be renewed every 12 months. If your current training ID holds a date more than 12 months ago, please complete the training again.

Once completed, please bring your confirmation ID (emailed to you after the training) to the New Wine Info point at the entrance to collect a purple ‘prayer ministry’ wristband.

Partners

We’re delighted that two valued partner organisations, Christians Against Poverty (CAP) and Scripture Union, will be joining us at Leadership Days this year.

As we explore the theme of Healthy Leadership, both partners will share from their experience of serving churches across the UK, offering insight, encouragement and practical tools to help leaders lead well, sustainably and in step with God’s heart for their communities.

CAP Logo

CAP will invite us to reflect on compassionate, outward-looking leadership that brings hope and freedom to those facing poverty and debt. Click the logo to find out more.

Scripture Union Logo

Scripture Union will help leaders think afresh about nurturing healthy faith journeys, particularly in children and young people. Click the logo to find out more.

Together, their contributions will equip and inspire leaders for fruitful, resilient ministry in today’s context. Do say hello to them whilst you are with us on the day.

We’re also delighted to welcome St Andrew’s Bookshop, bringing a selection of Christian literature to each of the Leadership Days. St Andrews’ mission is to provide quality resources that inspire discipleship, spiritual formation, and personal growth in faith.

Photography & Video

Our media team will be capturing photo and video content at these events for use on our social media and websites. If you would prefer not to be captured, please collect a yellow ‘No Media’ lanyard from the New Wine Info point at the entrance.
