Relay Open

Thursday August 6, 2026 6:30pm - 8:30pm BST

Come and join us during the main meetings. There is space to spread around, and a relaxed vibe if you need to be able to move more too, or you find it helpful to have fewer people around you. The venue is hosted by the Transform team as well as having everything from the arena shown on a big screen. There'll also be writing, drawing, journaling, colouring supplies for you to use whilst you engage with the session. It’s ideal if you need somewhere calmer than the arena whilst also hearing the talk and space to worship.

Too good to be true? Who is God REALLY?

Friday August 7, 2026 2:00pm - 2:45pm BST

Is God distant, angry, or impossible to please? Or is He far better than we've imagined?

This seminar explores who God really is through the life of Jesus, discovering a God whose goodness and grace change everything. Together we'll challenge common misconceptions, wrestle with honest questions, and see why the gospel really is good news. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or have been following Jesus for years, come and discover the God who is better than you think.

How to share faith with your mates

Sunday August 9, 2026 3:15pm - 4:00pm BST

What an honour it is that Jesus invites us to partner with him in his mission! What a great thing it is to share Jesus with our mates? But we all know that there isn't just one way to do evangelism, right? Actually, all of my friends are quite different and so surely they'll receive Jesus in a different way than I might have? This is what we will be exploring in this seminar. We will be looking at four different ways your friends might encounter, learn, and understand the gospel. https://missionstyles.org/
