Deeper 2025

Deeper Conference Team

A day conference in Bradford for Christians wanting to go deeper into God's Word

Church on the Way

We're excited that Dan Strange will be joining us for the day to teach on the theme - Making Faith Magnetic.This year (2025) Bradford is the City of Culture, and Dan will be helping us think about how we can connect our culture to Christ. What does it look like for us to engage constructively with the culture around us as Christians?Dan is the director of <a href="https://crosslands.training/" title="https://crosslands.training/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Crosslands Forum</a>, a centre for cultural engagement and missional innovation.

Dan is married to Elly, has a large family, and is an elder of Hope Community Church in Gateshead in the North East of England (although he is still a West Ham United season ticket holder!).Dan will start with an overview of the Bible's teaching about culture before sharing some of the insights from his recent book. In this he highlights 5 recurring themes which our culture can't stop talking about, and shows how Jesus speaks powerfully into each one.Over the course of the day there will be three sessions from Dan interspersed with times of prayer, praise, discussion and Q&amp;A. There will be plenty of breaks during the day to chat with one another over refreshments and lunch will also be provided. <a href="https://uk.10ofthose.com/" title="https://uk.10ofthose.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">10ofThose</a> will be bringing a bookstall and a number of other local Christian organisations will be setting up stalls for the day.Deeper KidsThis year we're really excited to be able to offer a kids program alongside the main conference for primary age children (reception - year 6). This will run from 9.30am-12.30pm allowing families to share lunch together from 12.30-1.30pm. After lunch the Deeper Kids team will run some supervised play allowing parents who want to attend the final session of the conference to stay until the day finishes at 3pm.The children will also be thinking about how Jesus relates to the world we experience day by day. There will be songs, games, teaching, craft activities and lots of fun. All of our volunteers will be DBS checked and have experience in working with children in local churches.If families come with pre-school children there will also be a crech room set-up with a video link so parents can watch the conference with little ones.Whilst there is a cost of £10 for adults to register for the conference kids go free. You can register their names and ages through eventbrite to book their place and fill in a fuller registration form on the day. Doors will open from 9am for registration on the day.
