Relational Theology Day 2025

Discover Hope in a Fragmented World

Building from last year, we identified three important crises that remain with us

• A crisis of culture
• A crisis of church
• A crisis of personal faith

In the midst of these crises there is hope.

There are early signs of revival across the UK; an increase in spiritual hunger, a deepening of unity across churches, a renewed interest in the bible, an increase in salvations and a surge in callings to ministry and missions.

We believe the message of Jesus offers profound answers to our relational challenges. His teachings confront isolation and disconnection, offering a pathway to healing and wholeness. Yet, all too often, those seeking answers encounter unwelcoming environments in churches, where relational warmth can be lacking.

This is where relational theology comes in—an approach that emphasises connection, compassion, and community at its core. At our upcoming annual conference, we will explore how relational theology can reshape our interactions, deepen our faith, and help us engage with a world hungry for authentic relationships.

Join us for an inspiring day as we dive into the practical outworkings of this transformative theology. Past attendees have found it to be a deeply rewarding experience, and we’re excited to welcome you to what promises to be our best conference yet in 2025. Let’s build stronger, more welcoming communities—together.

Relational Theology 

Relational theology focuses on integrating grace and truth by emphasising relationships with God and others as stewards of creation. It avoids liberalism and legalism, fostering a loving, accountable community that is joined-up in its thinking and lives out Jesus’ radical teachings in practical ways.

Special Guest

Our special guest Luke Hamlyn will be leading us in worship on the day.
