PAST EVENTS

A group of us will be heading up to Wembley for July 7th 2024. Join us or make your own way there – do book your place for this National Gathering!


Once again a highlight of the year will be our Summer Young Adult camp, there is an early bird discount until the end of May, spaces are limited so please do book your tickets ASAP. Food & space in a tent is included. The venue for this year will once again be Wildside Experience in the remote Blackdown Hills near the historic Dunkeswell Abbey.

Last year we hosted a regional young adult event called RESET, this year the theme is ‘READY’, a call to be ready for Jesus return (Mark 13v32-37). Are the priorities in our life correct, what is stopping us being ready, are we lukewarm?
