What’s it about?
Churches in rural areas face significant challenges and many are finding it hard to think positively about the future. This day conference on Friday 15th May at Haveringland Parish Church will explore the realities of rural parish life, and provide some inspiration to take away with you.
There will be keynote talks from Bishop Jane Steen (Bishop of Lynn) and Nigel Walter (Archangel Architects - Cambridge). We’ll have panel discussions on church buildings, community connections, transforming governance structures & mission in rural churches. We'll also have friends from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and lots of other partners.
Who’s it for?
The conference is offered for anyone with an involvement or interest in rural churches; particularly lay and ordained church leaders, PCC members, clergy and Diocesan officers.
Where is it?
The venue for the conference is the amazing
Haveringland Parish Church & Community Hub.
The conference marks the end of a momentous £500,000 project which has seen the remote and dilapidated church building transformed into a well-appointed facility which serves its community in fresh ways.
