NEXT PHASE CONFERENCE
Next Phase is a conference for anyone 50ish and over. This is a broad group of people who will go through many ‘next phases’ (kids growing up and leaving home, grandkids arriving, work changes, ageing etc) and we want to encourage you to keep going strong in your faith as some of the other things in life change. In 2026, Sam McGeown opened the book of Ruth with us and helped us to better understand God’s redeeming love. Steve McAlpine showed us the ways that our culture is changing and how we can better engage with those around us.
At Next Phase you can expect:
-
- High quality bible teaching
- Seminars that help us live out our faith
- Great fellowship
- Encouraging testimonies
