Food and Fellowship
For many, the highlight of the Conference is the opportunity for fellowship with others who share the same love for Christ and His church. As usual the ample coffee and meal breaks provide an excellent opportunity for that as well as the chance to browse the well-stocked bookstall.
​
Please book your place at the conference before Saturday 8th March 2025 to guarantee lunch.
Venue
The Conference will be held at Central Offices, the home of Dewsbury Evangelical Church. The church is near to the M1 and M62 and thereby easily accessible. Most places in the North of England are less than two hours by car and many less than one hour.
