Manchester 2026 WEAVE - ICCT gathering will explore the transformative concept of Imago Dei — the belief that every person is created in the image and likeness of God, as a foundation for intercultural understanding and the renewal of churches and cities.
Participants will examine how recognising the inherent dignity and worth of every individual can break down prejudice and foster meaningful connections across diverse cultures, enabling the church of Christ to thrive.
The event will also focus on developing intercultural leadership and creating worship experiences through music, arts, and storytelling that celebrate God’s creativity expressed in cultural diversity.

In addition, the conference will highlight the church’s vital role in reflecting Imago Dei within urban environments marked by cultural diversity and inequality. Discussions will emphasize the importance of planting new intercultural churches and revitalizing existing ones as spaces that support marginalized communities, promote justice, and cultivate discipleship and belonging. Leaders will be empowered to create culturally inclusive environments within their churches and communities, embodying the love and unity found in Christ.

The primary paradigm of church and church planting in the New Testament, throughout history, and globally has looked like intentional communities surrendered to the leadership of Jesus proclaiming and demonstrating the Kingdom of God house to house, table to table, and in simple places like street corners, parks, and alleyways.  
Microchurches are not just a strategic innovation to meet the challenges of an increasingly non-christian and missionary context, but the rediscovery of something old and wired into us as the priesthood of all believers, hungry for deep fellowship with other disciples and a place in God’s mission. 
Whether you’re curious about microchurches, leading a microchurch, multiplying a network, or dreaming of how your existing church can pivot to or incorporate micro, join with dozens of other practitioners and tribes for shared learning and encouragement at the Microchurch Conference.

Mission on the margins. Gather with others called to pioneer new worshipping communities in creative ways. Celebrate stories of hope, explore theology that sustains, and share practical wisdom for mission at the edges.
Together, we will look with hope to what God is doing on the margins, encourage those already stepping out in faith, and take up the call to reach new people in new and renewed ways with the love of Christ.
