ACE - A Conference for Local Lay-Pastors

We’re really pleased to announce the first Conference for Local Lay-Pastors, which is taking place on 5 – 7 November 2025 at Cliff College. This is a wonderful opportunity for learning, development and meeting colleagues. There is an exciting range of speakers leading a variety of workshops, with a keynote address from Matt Forsyth, Vice-President of The Methodist Conference 2025/26. More details about speakers and workshops, along with the booking link can be found here.

Please note that places will be provisionally booked until payment is received. Please ensure payments for invoices are received promptly to enable us to fully book your place.

The Conference counts towards Local Lay-Pastors' continuing development and can be recognised as learning towards maintaining accreditation as a Local Lay-Pastor. It should be recognised as part of a Local Lay-Pastors' role and should be seen as supporting their ministry locally.

Please do share this exciting opportunity with those involved in this important ministry. If there are any questions or further information is needed, please do contact llp@methodistchurch.org.uk
