The conference is specifically designed for leaders of larger churches in the Baptist movement, and we aim to create a safe space for worship, teaching, and peer support. This year we are thrilled that Gavin and Anne Calver will be our speakers. Gavin is CEO of the Evangelical Alliance and Anne oversees Unleashed Church. They are both ordained Baptist ministers, regular public speakers, and authors. They are passionate about making Jesus known and seeing the Church awakened and revived to be all that we are called to be. The theme and programme for the conference is Stand: Spirit-led Leadership in Contested Spaces.
