Leaders Conference

Ground Level Leaders Conference 2026

22nd-24th April 2026, HAYES CONFERENCE CENTRE, SWANWICK, DERBYSHIRE

Mobilise: Equipping the Saints for Ministry and Mission

The Conference is our annual gathering to connect, be inspired and hear what the Holy Spirit is saying, so we can follow His lead.

It is a time to renew relationships, build new ones and a time to be refreshed. It’s for pastors, leaders, staff team members, key volunteers, as well as emerging and younger leaders.

Our speakers will include invited guests, friends and leaders from within our network. Through a programme of Keynotes, Streams, Celebrations and Co Labs, which will take a dive into leadership subjects and practices, we know that this conference will be a rich time of impartation from the Holy Spirit.

A highlight of our conference is always the space that we make for friendship and connection and once again this will be a priority in 2026. We are believing to powerfully encounter God’s presence during this conference and we know that this will be a significant time for you and your team.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
