Looking Up, Looking Forward
Looking Up, Looking Forward is a special event offered by CPAS to all our patronage incumbents.
Following the success of previous Looking Up, Looking Forward training days, these new events are a fantastic opportunity to be refreshed and restored in your ministry role, connect with others and be inspired.
With nearly 700 benefices, CPAS is the UK's largest evangelical patron. We believe every CPAS patronage church has a crucial and exciting part to play in the big picture of what God is doing in our nations.
At the end of a challenging year, we invite you to reflect together on lessons learned and opportunities ahead.
Through online events, we will consider challenges and opportunities of local church leadership through inspiring Bible teaching, topical input and a chance to share ideas with one another.
Below are the upcoming 'Looking Up, Looking Forward' online events that you can book now. Each event costs £5 and runs from 9.15am-1pm.
