Monday 19 and Tuesday 20 October
LoveRural National Rural Mission Conference
LoveRural is a national gathering for anyone passionate about seeing rural churches and communities flourish.
Hosted by a partnership of denominations and mission agencies, the conference brings together clergy, lay leaders, pioneers, chaplains, church members and rural mission practitioners from across the UK to learn, pray, encourage one another and share practical ideas for mission in the countryside.
Over two inspiring days, delegates will:
- Hear stories and insights from those serving in rural ministry.
- Explore fresh approaches to disciple-making and church planting.
- Connect with others engaged in rural mission across different denominations.
- Be encouraged through worship, prayer and shared learning.

This conference will be of particular interest to clergy, rural deans, lay ministers, churchwardens, pioneer ministers, mission enablers and anyone with a heart for rural ministry.
We'd be very grateful for your support in helping us reach those who would benefit from attending, and we look forward to welcoming people from across your Diocese.
