2026 Seminars
1. The desire to measure up
Katie Fitzgerald
Health, relationships, godliness, routine, beauty… the chase is on to be ‘just so’. Do you measure up to where you feel you should be? As Christians, is perfectionism a good or bad thing? We’ll examine our desires to be more and achieve more, as the Lord meets us in this struggle.
2. The Joy of Work
Anna Oldfield
Secular work can be a privilege, a joy and a challenge. How does being a Christian shape the way we think about and do our jobs? Explore how God calls us to minister to the ‘forgotten kingdom’ of the secular workplace and consider all He can do in and through us at work, for His glory.
3. Loving our teenagers well
Emma McFaul
Despite being more connected than ever, over 70% of Generation Z report feeling lonely weekly. We have good news and real relationships to offer our young people. We’ll explore what life is like for our teenagers and ways to be more passionate about loving and discipling the youth in our church family.
4. The Quiet Revival – What’s next Abbie Doyle
According to Bible Society research churchgoing has increased, led by younger people, and more men than women are attending. What does this mean for the church’s mission today?
5. Equal or Unequal?
Anna Allan
Jesus calls each one of us, as His followers, to “take His yoke” upon us. How, as women “yoked” to unbelievers, can we learn from Jesus and continue faithfully to walk with Him?
6. Commending Christ to our kids Claire Everingham
Come and explore together how to build a Christ-centred foundation that helps us live with purpose and hope, commending Christ to our children through all life’s daily ups and downs.
7. Reading the Bible to grow more like Christ Claire Darley
Most of us wish we could grow to be more like Jesus, struggling to feel we are being changed as we read our Bible. There is a link here! Let’s think together about how the way we read our Bible will impact on our growth as Christ’s disciples day by day, year by year.
8. Understanding Church Revitalisation Katherine Chaplin
Church revitalisation can sound like a buzzword – but what is it really? Drawing on her experience at Sladebrook Church in Bath, Katherine helps us understand what revitalisation involves and why it’s worth pursuing.
9. Finding Our Gospel Bliss
Natalie Brand
Many of us find it hard to believe that all our sins are nailed to the cross. We struggle on in shame, disbelief, self-righteousness and our lack of Christian joy is just another thing we feel guilty about. Use this time to park at Calvary and grow in gospel revelry.
10. Living in the Last Days
Susanna Taylor
What and when are the “last days”? How should their existence affect how we live? With urgency, patience, apathy, drivenness, or just not at all? We’ll be unravelling these questions and thinking together about how the last days might impact us in our daily lives.
11. Migration – God’s Method for Mission? Claire Spencer
Cross-cultural mission doesn’t always mean going overseas; God is bringing the world to us. Together let’s consider local opportunities to reach and love people from other countries with the hope of Christ.
12. Putting on the New Self
Abi Coward
Paul encourages the Colossian church to put to death old ways and put on the new self. In Christ we are called to a new way of living; how do we grow in this new way of life? We’ll look at how the Spirit’s work in us enables us to be fruitful and grow to increasingly reflect Christ.
