History
Having just completed our fourth year, with over 1500 Christians from across the British Isles attending last year’s event. Delegates have travelled from as far afield as Jersey, the Isle of Man and Ireland to take part in worship services, seminars, social action and Bible teaching. Themes for the previous events have been “Inspiring a prophetic church”, "Jesus... Who was he? Who is he?" and "Word into Flesh".
Seminars
Seminar teaching streams run morning and afternoon throughout the duration of the conference, equipping delegates for ministry and spiritual growth. Topics previously covered have included leadership, community, lifestyle, vocation and church. In order to build on this attendees were then able to put theory into practice, by taking part in a range of social action projects in Llandudno. Local churches partnered with ECG delegates, seeking to impact the town with "random acts of kindness" and evangelism. Among other things volunteers restored a community centre, painted a church and hosted a skate park and mission bus. Delegates were encouraged to continue to engage with their neighbourhoods back home.
Worship and Word
Guests including: Ben Cantelon, Yfriday, Graham Kendrick, Philippa Hanna, Kev Whitmore and more have led worship. A variety of speakers have brought the word to life including: Brian McLaren, Martyn Atkins, Paul Smith, Roy Crowne, evangelist Mark Ritchie and Michelle Guinness, Jo Cox, Katei Kirby
Music
As part of the event, ECG ran Cafe Revival - a catering venue in the town centre that served great coffee to conference participants and other visitors from the town. It was also the setting for "LYFE", an afternoon coffee and scriptural study session hosted by the Bible Society. Meanwhile, the evenings were filled with live acoustic music, with sets from Christian artists such as Philippa Hanna, Paul Field, Kev Whitmore and Kieran Metcalfe.
Youth and Kids
Children are well catered for at the conference. Each morning service featured an early "worship wake up" session, led by children's charity Big Ministries, which engaged both adults and younger participants. In addition, those under 18 were taken care of by enthusiastic teams providing a selection of activities for the various age ranges.
