Mainstream Leadership Encouragement Day
The next Encouragement Day for Church Leaders and their Teams will take
place at New Life Church, Durrington, on Monday 17 May.
The speaker will be Andy Hickford, who is the Senior Minister of Maybridge
Community Church in Worthing.
Andy first became known as a youth worker in Luton, where having spent 10
years learning the ropes of cross-cultural mission, he developed a reputation
as a practitioner, author and speaker.
It was just after writing an article on staying in youth work for life that God
surprised him with a call to wider ministry in the local Church, and the even
greater surprise of doing that in Worthing!
Over the last 13 years, Andy has learnt many painful lessons about change
management as he has transitioned a traditional FIEC Church into what
Maybridge is today – a thriving and growing congregation focussed on
personal discipleship and community transformation.
Andy is on the board of Tearfund, speaks at a number of Christian
conferences and is always thinking about writing another book. He is married
to Cerys and they have 3 children. They all recently returned from Calcutta
where they spent half-term working in a project linked with their Church.
The Leadership Day will run from 10 till 4, and as well as hearing from Andy,
there will be the opportunity to worship together, to discuss and to pray for
one another.
The cost for the day is £10, which includes lunch, and the day is open to
anyone in Church leadership - ministers, elders, deacons, PCC members,
home group leaders etc. To book your place, call, write, email, phone or fax:
