Whether you’ve recently moved to a rural area or have lived and ministered there for years, join other church leaders from rural and market town contexts for a day of encouragement, equipping and connection.

Together, we’ll worship, receive relevant teaching, share stories and experiences, and pray for one another as we seek to see more of God’s Kingdom in our communities.

Who Is It For? 

This gathering is for church leaders serving in rural and market town contexts.

Whether you’re leading a church in a small village, a rural community, a market town or a cluster of villages, we’d love you to join us.

You don’t need to have all the answers. This is a space to come as you are, share the journey with others and be encouraged as we look together at what God is doing and what He might want to do next.

What to Expect
