Keeping it Together: mental health and Christian ministry aims to resource anyone in church leadership to teach and explore those issues biblically in their churches, as well as encouraging people in Christian ministry to look after their own wellbeing.
It would be great if you could join us on the first live session of the new term on 18th September. If you feel you can commend us to others that would be wonderful.
The Live Session in March
Will be on March 18th 2026 from 12 midday to 13.15 as usual. We have heard terrible stories in the press about ministers abusing church members and it is vital that this is being exposed, but a hidden problem is leaders who are abused by their churches. I will be leading this session where we will hear some stories and discuss this.
Use the form at the bottom of the page to tell us you are coming.
Retreat Day
Two new dates for our retreats at Shepherd’s Dene in Northumberland in 2026: Tuesday 28th April and October 1st. This is a wonderful opportunity to take time to relax, reflect and re-orientate as we move into the colder, darker months. Leaders will be announced soon. Our retreat days are funded by the Henry Smith Charity and are free to anyone involved in Christian ministry.
If you are from the south of England, why not come for a couple of nights (you would need to pay for your accommodation). Drive here or come by train to Riding Mill and we’ll pick you up from the station.
