In-Person - WEAVE - Intercultural Church and City Transformation - Manchester
@GoChurch MediaCity UK, Dallas Court Salford Quays Manchester
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.

In-Person - Multiply Estates Mission 2026 - London
@St Barnabas Church 913 High Road London
Multiply Estates Mission gathers together all those with a shared heart to serve estates and low-income communities.
To serve an estate community is to be Kingdom-shaped. To live as Jesus lived, moving in and becoming a neighbour. The Word became flesh and lived among us. Multiply Estates Mission is a chance to gather together with a family who share this call of creating loving communities one day at a time.
It’s for leaders who are settled in, at home on the estate. It’s for leaders who are yet to feel at home, and those who don’t know where to start. It’s for everyone, so bring your team.
