Faith & gaming
Friday August 7, 2026 2:30pm - 2:50pm BST
Would Jesus own an Xbox, Playstation or Switch?  Should Christians even be playing video games?  Can Among Us be used for Evangelism?  
Gaming has become an ever increasing part of how we choose to relax, socialise and spend our free time.  Where even the simplest games have the ability to draw us into enticing worlds, engaging narratives, feel good successes and frustrating failures.  How do we navigate these experiences alongside our offline world and what place, if any, should our faith play in the types of games we play and the choices and roles we take on in them.

Believing Science: Truth and Conspiracy theories
Friday August 7, 2026 3:00pm - 3:30pm BST
Science is one way that God has given us to understand the world around us. But can we trust the scientists? In fact, how can we trust anything at all?? Join us to think about how God has blessed us with being able to explore and know things...but also how healthy uncertainty is a part of God's intentions!

Faith in the Premier League

Saka. Semenyo. Alisson. World-class footballers, but they're also known for being open about their Christian faith.
What does it mean to follow Jesus in the world of sport? What can we learn from these players, and what might their example have to say to us, whether we play sport competitively, coach, or simply love watching it?
Join us as we explore the relationship between faith and football and consider how the gospel shapes the way we play, compete, support, and live.

The summer I turned Christian
Saturday August 8, 2026 2:00pm - 2:30pm BST
What if your coming-of-age story matters to God? Growing up as a girl is messy, and following Jesus doesn’t suddenly make it simple. Inspired by The Summer I Turned Pretty, we’ll explore identity, faith, and why following Jesus was never meant to be about having it all together.

What about the rest of creation?
Saturday August 8, 2026 2:30pm - 2:50pm BST
We talk about God being the God of ALL of creation - but we spend so much time thinking about what faith means for humans. So - what if our faith directly informs our actions? This session will think about who God is, how God feels about the world around us, and what living out our faith looks like for animals, plants, and planet Earth. And hopefully notice and remember how connected we are to the world around us.

Being a christian in my science class

God loves science and God created science. So why then do Christians seem to give ourselves such a hard time over it? Why are we known for rejecting science? How can we reply to those in our churches and schools who think we should? Come and meet two scientists who will help you to live well for Jesus in the science classroom, at university and in the laboratory.

To vote or not to vote?
Saturday August 8, 2026 4:00pm - 4:20pm BST
In 2025 the Labour Government pledged to give 16 & 17 year olds in the UK the right to vote in the next general election, while in Scotland and Wales young people 16 or over can already vote in local elections.  But does voting really make any difference in our political system? If you do decide to vote how do you choose who to vote for? What’s the difference between the general and local elections, is one more important than the other? Why do we get the politicians we do? Is it all really as divided as it seems? Join us for a whistle-stop tour of how taking an interest in politics can lead to positive change and why your voices as a younger generation are important for the future of our democracy.

United Kingdom? What does Jesus say about flags, marches & political division
Sunday August 9, 2026 2:00pm - 2:20pm BST
You may have seen people in the news calling for Britain to prioritise Christianity, reclaim its identity, and be suspicious of outside cultures or religions. As Christians, it can be difficult to know how to think about these conversations. Thankfully, they're not new. In fact, the Bible has a great deal to say about them.

In this session, we'll trace Israel's story from a powerful nation to an exiled people, explore why so many hoped the Messiah would restore Israel, and discover how Jesus challenged those expectations by announcing a different kind of kingdom—one marked by love for enemies rather than victory over them. Together we'll ask what Jesus' teaching might have to say to Christians living in today's divided political climate.

God wants to empower YOU!
Sunday August 9, 2026 3:00pm - 3:20pm BST
Have you felt that amazing fire that you get in your soul from being at a festival? The summer festival vibes are immaculate, thousands are gathered, worship is soul-filled, you're closer to God than ever, and the sleep is non-existent... 
But what happens when the festival ends?
How can we keep that same fire for God, even when it might feel like we're alone in our faith at school, college, or work? Give me 20 minutes of your time and I've got some spaces that can bring community to your everyday faith! 
Because faith isn't just for when you're at your highest, but faith is the foundation on which you build all you have, including your lows, including the times when you are asking God 'Why would you do this? If you were so good, then why would you do this?' And these lows are what I want to speak about, because in Judges 6, a mighty man chosen by God becomes empowered to fix all the oppression that surrounded him. And for you practically in your day-to-day, I want to create a space in the 20 minutes where we can all leave feeling that same encouragement that God gave to one of his followers in Judges 6, in the story of Gideon.

Come and explore some thoughts around this as we discuss all things Genesis, evolution and the Big Bang.

You know as people say, when life gives you lemons… make lemonade. But often people don’t talk about what making lemonade actually looks like. When we face tough times, it’s easy to stay in our pain, and can be really hard to believe that anything good could come our situation. So what is our story and how can we tell it?

Change to the schedule - Grace won't be delivering this talk BUT our friend from Nigeria who we interviewed on main stage will be leading this session on the same topic.
