Charles Maasz, CEO of Glasgow City Mission
We are very pleased to be welcoming Charles as our keynote speaker, coming all the way down to Southampton to share from his vast experience in city mission work, the movement of God they see so regularly in Glasgow. He will be exploring how we are all called into this work with God through the bible to engage with the need, brokenness and spiritual bankruptcy of our world, and the exciting journey that awaits all of us as we step into our calling.
Youth Groups
For youth coming with families or those on their own, we will be looking at the unique opportunities available in your current cultural moments in school and college. In small discussion groups we’ll explore faith and life opportunities in person and online and in our networks with a chance to ask pressing questions or raise areas which are challenging spaces for you today.
Prayer Space
Whether you want to pray quietly on your own or join in with come creative prayer craft projects. We know it’s important to have a space to retreat quietly with God.
Workshops
We’re excited to offer 3 different practical hands on workshops about mapping our relationships, shaping our own Jesus story and practicing our answers to real faith life questions.
Children’s Work
Take a look at the video from last year’s conference. We have the team in place to do similar again. We know the children will have a great time and learn so much about Jesus.
