Jeremiah 29:1111 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Gateway is our Summer Youth Conference:
When?
- Monday 2nd – Sunday 15 August (2 weeks)
If you can stay longer, we encourage you to stay for our Harvest weeks which follow on from the conference:
- Harvest weeks: Monday 16th – Sunday 29 August
What?
- Prayer
- Friendship
- Worship
- Creativity
- Teaching
Gateway will have a “conference” format, concentrating some of the elements of the wider Discipleship Course into a shorter time. The program will include teaching from the community and from invited speakers.
Daily program
Each day during your time with us will mix prayer, fellowship, teaching, helping out, and time together with our community and the other young people – and some relaxation and fun!
What did previous Gateway participants say?
‘The whole Gateway was great and I would like to thank all the HOD people for taking care of us and putting on the programs for us. You guys are great.’
‘Food? Amazing! Pudding? Amazing! Also prayer (quiet time, morning prayer, times of worship…) Amazing and full of Holy Spirit!
I enjoyed everything, all the activities during Gateway, it was a good mix of different things.’
‘Thank you so much for all the work and prayers that the HOD community invested in the Gateway. I can really feel the fruits of those two weeks…’
‘I love you! Thanks for opportunity to be with you! God bless you! ❤’
Want to stay longer?
If you are able to stay for longer to experience all these things, we invite you to consider coming for a longer time on the Discipleship Gap Year 2027 to include these two weeks.
How much?
We suggest a contribution of £TBC, if you are coming only for the time of this conference.
