We are deeply saddened to hear of the heart-breaking events at Big Church Festival.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been affected, especially those who are grieving the tragic loss of a loved one.

Please join us in praying that God would draw especially close to those who are grieving, injured and impacted by what has happened and that He would surround them with His love, comfort, strength and peace.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the whole Big Church Festival community.

God, we look to You.

We've just created a free Table Talk set to open up interesting conversations about football, sport and society during this Football World Cup season.

You will receive a digital PDF file with 40 question cards, which are easy to print off yourself and cut up.

The World Cup has a unique way of bringing people together. Whether you're cheering from the sofa, watching with friends, or simply enjoying the excitement of this global event, football creates opportunities to connect, build friendships, and start conversations. That's why we've created a free set of downloadable World Cup Conversation Starters – as part of our 1 Million Conversations Initiative.

“The Koble series caused us to lift our eyes from the internal difficulties of a small, aging congregation to re-assess why we are here and how we can reach our community. It led us to renovate our buildings for outreach, employ a community worker to build connections, and begin the process of finding a community pastor focused on mission. Koble has introduced us to new ways of thinking about outreach, and we are beginning to implement real change—so thanks!" - Lydbrook Baptist Church. Gloucestershire

Koble is built around the 10 Ds of mission and growth: discover, difference, desire, distinctive, dwell, dialogue, delivery, decision, discipleship, direction.

We've just released Koble, a brand new missional training resource that we've been writing and testing for the past few years.

In an ever-changing society, Koble seeks to help everyone within a church think about how they can engage at a deeper level with the people they already know, as well as connect with those they don’t.
