Annual Conference

How can we be more fruitful out in God’s world, among the people we meet in the everyday places we spend the bulk of our time – the workplace, college, lunch club, supermarket, bus stop, toddler group or school gate?

Come and join us for this dynamic, interactive day when we will be discovering the many ways we have probably already been fruitful for Christ and the multiple ways that we can help one another bring Christ’s wisdom, power and hope to the challenges and yearnings of our neighbours, co-workers, and friends.

Afternoon Seminar Options

Seminar A

Word and Witness on our Everyday Frontlines

Mark Greene

Talking about Jesus with people who don’t know him can feel daunting, particularly if we think it involves crowbarring a prepackaged, seven-point Gospel message into a casual conversation about the weather. In this seminar we will explore a Spirit-led, relational approach that begins with one person, and seeks God’s ‘how’ and God’s ‘when’. We’ll look at proactive pathways forward, developing relationships of deeper trust as we take the small steps God is prompting us to take.

Seminar B
Discipling One Another for our Frontlines

Paul Lambert

Forming fruitful, whole-life disciples is a task for the whole church. God has given us each other to support, encourage, train, teach, correct, and refresh one another. As we emerge from the isolation of the pandemic, how can we come back together more intentional about how we live for Christ and serve him in everyday mission? Drawing on LICC’s experience with scores of churches, we’ll look at how we can enrich our meeting together in small groups, prayer triplets, or pairs – so that we grow ever more fruitful for Christ.

Seminar C
Changing Frontlines - Continuing Fruitfulness in Retirement

Steve Rouse

Vocation or Vacation? Retirement may be challenging but it can also be one of the most fruitful seasons of our lives. Prayerfully investing time with grandchildren might be one important focus. But you might also offer your time and talents to local organisations, use your experience mentoring working adults, reach out more intentionally to people with shared interests, or simply be sure you’re that bit more available to people you meet during the day... be it at the check-out, the gym, the coffee shop or wherever you go. Come and explore what God might have for you during this opportune time of life.
