Want to build community in your church? Join us with your church for the Keswick Church Weekend Away in the heart of the Lake District.
This weekend is for smaller churches who may not be able to run their own weekend away. We offer the opportunity for you to enjoy excellent Bible teaching, sung worship, and a separate program for children.
The weekend will be for 3-6 churches. We will provide a core programme, along with the time and space to share fellowship and enjoy the beautiful Lake District as a church family throughout the weekend. The speaker this year will be Martin Salter.
If we can serve your church in this way, please get in touch soon.
"Excellent facilities, food, teaching, worship and fellowship - and all set in a beautiful area too. The ultimate weekend!
