God is on the move. Across the UK, people from every culture and background are encountering Jesus and seeking spiritual family. Churches are growing more diverse by the month. This is a gift, a glimpse of heaven. But it requires us to learn new ways of leading, worshipping, and building community together.
Converge 26 – Intercultural Church Conference exists for this moment: to equip leaders and church members across every area of ministry with the vision, tools, and confidence to grow and plant healthy intercultural churches that truly reflect the communities God has placed us in.
Join us on 13th-14th November 2026 in Derby for training, worship, and connection. We’re running specialist tracks throughout Saturday to meet you where you are:
- Growing a healthy intercultural church
- Planting something new
- Helping diaspora churches become intercultural
- Leading intercultural worship
Our gathering starts with a Taste of Heaven Intercultural Worship Celebration at 7pm but there are special Friday afternoon pre-conference gatherings for Senior leaders, European Leaders and worship catalysts.
Our main conference will finish on Saturday at 5pm but if you’d like to stay on until Sunday morning you can experience intercultural church in action at City Church Derby.
This is your chance to learn from practitioners who’ve walked this journey, connect with leaders facing similar challenges, and discover what God is doing across our diverse communities. Early bird tickets are £65 including a hot lunch and refreshments.
