Online - Economic Models for Decentralized Church Networks
@
Are you leading a network of decentralised churches but unsure how to design a budget that describes reality, or how to fund all the good & beautiful chaos? Join us for this 1-hour webinar as we explore alternative economic models based on new sets of principles and convictions.

Come hear some of the ways our economic model has evolved over time, based on transferrable principles and convictions, and explore how you might innovate a new way in your context

In-Person - EA Leadership Conference on sex, sexuality and gender - London
@St Peter’s Church, Kensington Park Road, Notting Hill,
A day of teaching, insights and practical application on how to express and embody the biblical, orthodox sexual ethic with clarity and compassion for all.
With special guest Preston Sprinkle, this day-long conference for church leaders and leadership teams will explore how society has redefined how we view sex and sexuality in recent years, what the Bible has to say on issues of sex, sexuality and gender, and how we can practically and compassionately help people to live flourishing and fulfilling lives in step with scripture.
In the afternoon we will get practical as we hear from church leaders on how they’ve begun to think through the missional and discipleship implications in their own contexts. There will also be lots of opportunities to hear about relevant resources to help your local church navigate these complex issues well.
