Leadership Retreat (24 hrs)
For church leaders under 40.
We believe God is raising a generation of evangelical leaders who will lead with faith, resilience and impact in a rapidly changing world.
Across different traditions, contexts and roles, those under 40 are carrying significant responsibility, navigating change and seeking to lead faithfully in complex and demanding situations.
As a growing collective begins to emerge, we want to create space to gather, pray, worship, learn and strengthen one another. This 24-hour residential retreat is an opportunity to step away from the demands of parish ministry, build relationships with peers, and reflect on what God may be doing in your life, leadership and ministry.
Across 24 hours at Ripon College Cuddesdon, there will be opportunities for worship, prayer, teaching, reflection, peer networking and action learning conversations. Together we will explore the opportunities and challenges of leadership today while building relationships with others navigating similar contexts and responsibilities.
The retreat is designed to be both inspirational and practical, offering space to be refreshed spiritually, strengthened by our peers, and equipped for leadership. Set within the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside, Ripon College Cuddesdon provides a peaceful setting in which to pause, reflect and reconnect with God and others.
The retreat begins with lunch on Wednesday 15 October and concludes after lunch on Thursday 16 October.
The residential package includes overnight accommodation, all meals, and refreshments.
Early bird rate: £70 until 31 August.
Standard rate: £110 from 1 September.
If you are a church leader under 40 looking for spiritual refreshment, practical wisdom and meaningful connection with others then we would love you to join us.
