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.
