Monday 3rd - Wednesday 5th February
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Cheltenham
We are really excited that our 2025 Conference will be on the theme of "The Goodness of God".
We will spend time reflecting and learning together how God's Goodness is reflected in our mission and ministry.
Rev Jo Williams will be continuing to explore with us how we play our part in restorative conversations and guiding us in how we respond to conflict.
Rev Dotha Blackwood will be exploring how we see God's goodness in the scripture and how that relates to us.
We will also be joined by Rev Craig Gardiner who will be our Chaplain for the Conference.
