OCM Conference UK

24-27 April 2025  //  Wales

A time to be freshly envisioned and equipped

Our annual church weekend away is such an important time in the life of the church: a time to be with family, a time to be freshly envisioned, a time to be equipped, and a time that we should all prioritise. It is a wonderful time to celebrate the amazing covenant life we have in Christ, and God is always faithful to bring direction for the way forward together as a family.

As always, we come first to worship our Lord Jesus Christ with all of our hearts, to proclaim His goodness, and experience His wonderful presence. Year after year we have been privileged to have God speak to us, direct us, and inspire us in both the prophetic and preached word. We look forward to this time together with much anticipation!

Who

This conference is particularly geared towards the churches connected with One Church Ministries, and although much of the direction and teaching of the conference will be focused on the call of God within these churches, friends from other expressions of the Church are welcome. We especially encourage everyone who considers themselves members of Living Light to prioritise this event!
