Mission Worship returns to the Kings Centre in Eastbourne from 13–15 November 2026, bringing together worship leaders, musicians and worshippers from across the church for a weekend of worship, teaching and practical seminars.

Under the theme ’Til The Whole World Knows, this year’s conference will explore how worship shapes the way we live, serve and make Jesus known. It is an invitation to encounter God together and return to our churches and communities encouraged and better equipped to serve Him.

Main speakers Glen Scrivener and Jonathan Oloyede will be joined by worship leaders and artists including Ben Cantelon, Philippa Hanna, Noel Robinson, Emmanuel Smith, Matt & Abi Horner of Taking Ground Music, Rich Butt, Brittany Batson Paculabo and Josh Carr.

Be inspired. Be equipped. Be refreshed. These three invitations sit at the heart of the weekend, with worship and Bible teaching to inspire, practical seminars to equip people for serving their local church, and space to be refreshed in God’s presence. Together, we’ll listen to God, learn from one another and rediscover the wonder at the heart of worship.

For those who regularly lead or serve in their local church, Mission Worship offers time to receive as well as contribute, and to share the weekend with others serving in different settings. The invitation extends to anyone who wants to grow in their understanding of worship, whether they come with a church team, bring a friend or attend on their own.

For nearly 30 years, Mission Worship has sought to encourage and equip the whole church. That purpose continues in 2026: gathering around Jesus, making room for different church traditions and helping people live lives of worship in their homes, churches and in the everyday.

Full weekend tickets cost £89, with concession and group rates available. Churches and friends booking ten tickets can receive an additional ticket free by emailing info@missionworship.com after booking.

Further information and booking are available at missionworship.com.

Healing Retreat Week at Crowhurst Christian Healing Centre:

‘The riches of the glory of God’ | 26 – 30 October 2026

Paul kneels before the Father and prays for the people of Ephesus, asking “that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being.”

What do you imagine he is asking God for?

What if the glory of God contains riches that are available to us — treasures to receive, savour and enjoy? The riches of God are not financial wealth, but the abundance of His resources made available to us. His glory speaks of His honour, majesty and splendour.

Could His healing work in our lives be one of the ways God responds to Paul’s beautiful prayer?

Come and join us for this Healing Retreat Week as we explore these themes through teaching, prayer, reflection, sharing and discussion. Each day is a stand-alone teaching day, so you can join us for a particular day or stay for the whole week. Come as a residential guest or as a day visitor, with plenty of time to enjoy good food, peaceful surroundings and the presence of God.

Arrivals from 2pm Monday. The retreat ends with lunch on Friday.

Monday: The house of the soul; discovering a ‘two-story’ house within

Tuesday: Escaping the Temple; discovering the implications of the veil being torn in two

Wednesday: The liberation of forgiveness; discovering the healing we can find in forgiveness

Thursday: Physical healing; discovering there is no limit to what the Spirit of God can do

Friday: The shape of love; discovering the boundless nature of God

Whole Week Special Offer

4 nights for the price of 3: £442.50 ensuite | £412.50 non-ensuite
