LoveRural Conference 2026

An invite to the ecumenical National Rural Mission Conference taking place on 19 and 20 October

Are you passionate about making disciples in rural areas and love working together with others across denominations?

Then don’t miss the LoveRural Conference taking place on 19 and 20 October 2026 at Yarnfield Park, Staffordshire, ST15 0NL.

At the conference, you’ll be able to hear the key learnings of inspiring disciple-makers in twenty-first century rural mission, connect with mission agencies to share wisdom and encouragement, and be inspired by the stories of what God is doing in small settlements and areas of low population. 

You can look forward to hearing about:

  • cross-denominational and multigenerational ministry   
  • how small can be beautiful
  • young people and families    
  • discoveries from church-planting and other new initiatives        

This event is hosted by Churches Together in England and partners from Rural Missions, The Arthur Rank Centre, Rural Ministries, The Church of England and The Methodist Church.
