Many Bible teachers and preachers around the world have benefited in the past from the 'Project Timothy' programme, whereby pastor-preachers have gone for a week or so on a regular basis to give Bible-training in the Majority world. Last year Neil Watkinson, our International Director, ran some well-received one-day training workshops for those interested in or involved with short-term cross-cultural expository ministry training events. In 2019 there will be a repeat of these workshops. Please note that to be able to come to the Level 2 workshop, you will need to have attended a Level 1 workshop.

Thursday 7 February 2019 - Level 1 workshop.

Wednesday 27 March 2019 - Level 2 workshop.

Both workshops will run for a whole day (9.30am-4.30pm) at Willcox House. Spaces will be limited, so please book soon. The cost of the training will be £30 for the day, which includes a sandwich lunch.

Cornhill Book in a Day is an opportunity for people to come and join the Cornhill students for the day as they focus in on one book of the Bible.

The four sessions across the day will look at an overview of the book, exploring key themes and the unique place it occupies in the canon of Scripture. The structure of the book will be analysed and there will be help with how to preach and teach different passages from the book. The teaching will include both lectures from the front and work in small groups. The day will finish with a model sermon from a key passage of the book.

If you are a Bible teacher, home group leader, or involved in other Word ministry then coming to Book in a Day will be an invaluable help in getting a handle on a whole Bible book. We would love to have you join us; space is limited so book early to avoid disappointment.

The content on Tuesday 23rd April and Tuesday 7th May is the same.

Both days will run from 9.30am until 4.30pm and be held at Willcox House on Borough High Street, London SE1 1LB.

For people who are, or hope to be in any kind of Bible teaching ministry in the local church. All sorts of people come to the Summer School - students, workers, people who have retired; those who want a taster of Cornhill; people taking a week out of their normal lives to be equipped, encouraged and refreshed in their service of the Lord. It's an opportunity to work through some of the important principles of handling the Bible faithfully with the aim of teaching Christ with integrity. The week is taught by Cornhill lecturers at our offices in central London, near London Bridge. Please note that this is a non-residential conference,refreshments will be provided each day, but please bring lunch or buy locally.

The week will consist of a variety of lessons on similar things to what you would learn at Cornhill. (For more information on Cornhill please click here.) In the afternoon there will be workshop groups where you'll have the opportunity to give a short talk and receive some feedback. The day usually finishes with one of the staff members giving a short exposition.

More specific details of the week, including the timetable, preparation for the workshop groups, and specific content will be given to delegates 2 weeks before the Summer School begins. However, each day will run from approx. 9am-4:30pm.
We're sorry, but we will not have any more detailed information - e.g. information on the specific bible book(s) taught, until close to the summer school starting.

This will be our fourth Weekend Wives Conference and we are so encouraged by the impact it is making. It is for any ministry wife who would find it difficult to come away during the week whether because of work, family or the time of year. It runs Friday evening until Sunday early afternoon. Weekend Wives is run to encourage, equip and energise ministry wives for the roles that God has called them to alongside their husbands. Our venue this year is the marvellous Chartridge Lodge near Chesham in Buckinghamshire, a wonderful, tranquil and well equipped conference centre easily accessible both by car and public transport. Our speaker will be Rachel Menon from Moulton Parish Church in Northants. As well as the main teaching sessions there will be prayer groups, seminars and lots of opportunity for rest and relaxation.

A 24 hour stopover for up to 13 couples led by Wallace and Lindsay Benn. Based at Chartridge Lodge, Chesham, Buckinghamshire. Marriage can be tough. Ministry can be tough. Together, they can be an explosive combination. What should be a joyful partnership sometimes turns out to be the very thing on which both ministry and marriage flounder. We cannot let it.

Conference starts at 11am on the Monday and finishes at 3pm on the Tuesday.

The book of Ecclesiastes is a seeming curiosity within the canon of Scripture. As a piece of wisdom literature, that at times seems to read more like existential poetry than the Bible, any help we can get in handling this book well in order to preach its potent message to others is of great value. Our Autumn Ministers will be focussed in on the book of Ecclesiastes and David Gibson the minister of Trinity Church Aberdeen and author of Destiny: Learning to live by preparing to die will be teaching us. We will also have David Shaw, lecturer at Oak Hill College and theological advisor for the FIEC with us for two sessions. As well as great teaching from the front there are also opening and closing expositions and workshop groups to help us keep making progress in the work God has called us to. Over the conference there is also lots of time for rest, relaxation and fellowship. So whether you are a regular at PT Preaching Conferences or coming for the first time, an experienced preacher or just starting out, UK based or from overseas, we would love to welcome you to this great conference.

The conference will begin at 5pm on Monday and conclude with lunch at 12.30pm on Thursday. You can find more information about our residential conferences including a sample timetable here.

Old Testament Narrative is the largest, but often least understood genre in the Bible. Everyone loves the epic stories but often fail to know how they fit into the overall story of the Bible and apply them badly. Therefore this entire conference will be focussed on teaching Old Testament Narrative.

Robin Sydserff (Chalmers Church, Edinburgh) will be speaking on Ruth and Charlotte Cornes (Holy Trinity Church, Lyonsdown) will be speaking on 1 Kings. There will also be workshops on Old Testament Narrative as well as ministry seminars. Each delegate will prepare a short talk on an allocated passage to present to their workshop group.
