The second FIEC Leaders’ Conference is to be held at The Hayes Conference Centre, Swanwick from Wednesday 20 to Friday 22 October this year. This conference is designed to build on the success of last year’s event.
FIEC would like to encourage all FIEC church leaders to put the Leaders’ Conference in their diaries because this is our conference – designed by FIEC church leaders for FIEC church leaders. The conference is for anyone who exercises any kind of leadership role within an FIEC church. It is intended to give us the opportunity to meet together to debate matters of mutual concern and to discern how we can serve the Lord together more effectively as a family of churches on a mission today.
We are delighted that Ray Evans, pastor of Grace Community Church, Bedford will be preaching at our two evening devotional sessions. As well as the main consultation sessions, we plan to run an exciting seminar track, including Ray leading two seminars on growing church. The Women’s Ministry Team are planning sessions for pastors’ wives and women in ministry. The seminar track will enable us to model for church leaders some of those aspects of ministry that FIEC does well.
Brochures and booking forms for the conference have been sent to FIEC church pastors and correspondents. We have more places available this year and want to encourage representatives of church leadership teams to attend the conference together. However, we need to balance this with our desire to see as many affiliated churches represented as possible. For more infromation contact the FIEC office.
