This 24-hour national gathering brings together rural leaders, pioneers, and practitioners to share wisdom, pray, and explore how mission and discipleship can flourish in low-population places.

Hosted by the Diocese of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich, the event will spotlight learnings from Strategic Development Fund projects (including Growing in God in the Countryside), with breakout sessions, keynote talks, and shared worship in a stunning cathedral setting.

Key contributors include Bishop Mike Harrison, Archdeacon Sally Gaze, Rev Simon Mattholie, and others from the Arthur Rank Centre, Lightwave, and national Fresh Expressions team.
