UK Church Growing Faster than Starbucks

A startling research paper is to be released at a forthcoming conference which shows that new churches are spreading across the UK faster than Starbucks.

With the purpose to further consider God’s magnificent movement at this time, the Mission 21 conference will be held Wednesday 8th March, 2006 until Friday 10th March, 2006 at the new Philadelphia Campus of St Thomas’ Church, Sheffield.

Sponsored by the Group for Evangelisation, Together in Mission and Wycliffe Bible Translators, around 800 leaders – both activists and strategists - are expected to gather at the Mission 21 conference.
