London / Connecting Communities Conference

19th September 2008, 10am-4pm
Freedom Centre International, Peckham, SE15 4ST

Violence…isolation…despair...
What can the church do?

Our cities often have some of the biggest and most vibrant churches in the UK. Yet these cities are also centres of violence, isolation and despair.  Faced with these challenges, what can the church do?

Hands together in unison

Livability Community Mission and Faith Action believe that the church has a unique role to play in service and leadership to its local community - to bear powerful witness in both word and deed of God’s awesome power and love. 

Key note speakers

  • Rev. Nims Obunge (Freedom’s Ark Church and the Peace Alliance)
  • Rev. Jonathan Oloyede (Glory House and Transform Newham)
  • Rev. Ade Omooba (Christian Victory Group)
  • Campbell Robb (Office of the Third Sector)  

Workshop topics include:

  • Challenging gang culture
  • Street Pastors initiative
  • Engaging with local government
  • Football in the community 

This is an essential conference for anyone involved in church leadership who wants to see their church making an impact for God in their local neighbourhood. 

£25/person or £20/person if booking five people
