This session, on June 18th 2020, explored what we can learn to equip people to start out and continue their faith journeys following a Life Events service.
How people first make contact with the church is very different at this current time, and may shift even further once lockdown is over. Sharing what we already know from research about those who came into contact with the church through occasional offices, this session explored what we can learn to equip people to start out and continue their faith journeys.
Presenters: Sandra Millar, Head of Welcome & Life events; Heather Cracknell, Head of Development for Fresh Expressions; Benita Hewitt, Director of 9-Dot Research.
