Tues 15th - Thurs 17th June 2027
(begins 4pm on Tuesday and finishes after lunch on Thursday)
Preaching is more than communicating biblical truth; it is about bringing God’s Word to bear on the hearts of those who hear it. But what does it mean to preach to the heart of a congregation, and what does it take to have a heart that is fit for preaching?

Join us for the Kent Preachers Conference 2027 as Angus Macleay (Minister at St Nicholas, Sevenoaks) helps us think about preaching to the heart of the congregation, while Marcus Honeysett (Living Leadership) explores the heart of the preacher. Together, we'll consider how the Word of God speaks to the deepest needs of our people, and how we as preachers can remain faithful, wholehearted and spiritually alive in the ministry God has entrusted to us.

“Cracking teaching and really valued the intimacy of the conference.”
“I loved chatting with like-minded ministers, sharing the joys and trials.”
“The talks were excellent, sharing over meals very helpful,. Loved the smallness of the event too.
I felt I had the time to get to know people.”
