Earlier this year Solas joined with Surrey Gospel Partnership to run a Confident Christianity evening in Woking. The event was attended by around 200 people from a number of churches and featured two talks and two Q&A segments. Andy Bannister’s opening talk was on How to talk about Jesus without looking like an idiot – practical conversational evangelism training – followed by a talk on A Better Story of Happiness. This explored how as Christians we might think and talk about the ultimate hope offered by the gospel to a culture that points to career, money, academic success or performance as the sources of ultimate happiness.
If you would like to explore bringing Confident Christianity to your area, we would love to hear from you! Just fill out the form on this page and our events team Tim and Catherine will get back to you. You might consider partnering with other local churches – like Surrey Gospel Partnership did – and putting on an event together.
Confident Christianity events generally come in three formats:
– a two-hour event with space for two talks and Q&A – great for a mid-week evening!
– a half-day event with four talks and Q&A
– a full-day conference with six talks and Q&A
Tim and Catherine love liaising with churches and other Christian ministries to make these formats work for you and your context – helping you choose topics and speakers that best fit your local needs, and liaising with you throughout the event planning process. The topics we offer are wide-ranging, from the more conceptual (e.g. arguments for the existence of God) to the very practical (e.g. using digital media in evangelism). A common thread across all Confident Christianity events is the opening talk. We like to begin every event with a very practical session on what it really looks like to have good conversations about faith with the people we know and meet. Our hope is that by starting events this way attendees keep that as the framework for whatever content comes after. We don’t want people to go away only with information – as good as that is – but with the encouragement, tools and mindset for translating it well into their everyday interactions.
