* * *
This past year has forced us to think about church in ways, perhaps, that we have never done so before. For many, it has led to a hitherto unexperienced appreciation for the family of God. When we are deprived of something precious, we often discover how much we have taken it for granted.
This year’s Ministers’ Conference provides an opportunity for us to gather as the Christ-appointed shepherds of his flock, and to think afresh on what his church actually is and why it matters so much, not just for his people, but for the well-being of the world.
The church is the epicentre of divine worship here on earth. Indeed, in Christ, as we gather each Lord’s Day, we are actually caught up into the heavenly realms as we offer our sacrifice of praise to God. It is the community in which the saints are equipped for service — the family in which we are spiritually nourished, shaped and moulded through ministering to ‘one another’, in order that we might minister to the world in all its need. Join with us as we savour afresh the glorious body of Christ.
What?
The Banner Ministers’ Conference is arranged for men who are (or who have been) in pastoral charges, or who are theological students at present in training for the ministry, and for men who are serving in missionary work at home or overseas.

The full conference fee for a Monday–Thursday resident is £235.*
We realise that many Ministers are on tight budgets and we do not want people to be unable to attend the conference due to the cost. If you are unable to afford the £235 fee, but could pay between £120 and £235, then please feel free to pay what you are able. In the event that you are not able to afford this, please contact John Rawlinson at the Edinburgh office to apply for financial assistance; we don’t want anyone to be unable to come due to financial constraints. To do this, please send an email to info@banneroftruth.co.uk with the heading ‘UK Ministers’ Conference Enquiry’ or phone the office on 0131 337 7310.
