The Christian’S Communion

Fellowship with the Triune God in Life and Ministry

9-11 June 2026 – IPC Ealing

What does it mean to know and enjoy God?

The 2026 IPC Catalyst Conference offers three days of rich and profound reflection together on the doctrine of communion with God. We will consider fellowship with God in three expositions from Scripture which aim to nourish heart and mind as each day begins, and then reflect on how some of the richest theological thinking in church history has instructed us about our communion with each of the three persons of the Trinity. We will then spend more time tracing communion with God as a theme in biblical theology before finishing each day reflecting on it in theological and pastoral perspective.

Each day will consist of the following sessions:


Tuesday, 9 June 

Thursday, 11 June 2026

 

Venue: Ealing International Presbyterian Church, 53 Drayton Green, West Ealing, London

£45 per day or £110 for all three days

£60 for students, all 3 days

 Lunch and accommodation are not included

Early birds:

The first 200 bookings for all 3 days will each receive some carefully selected outstanding free books!
