 ABOUT US

 

For over 25 years the Hand in Hand conference has been strengthening children’s and family ministry in this nation working in the areas of children’s and family ministry in church, whether a professional or volunteer. It aims to provide Biblical insight, basic training, deeper insight into new thinking and practical ideas for the ministry as well as times for prayer, worship and personal refreshment. Over 50 organisations, ministries and denominations come together with some of the leading practitioners in our nation to offer sessions and exhibit their resources at each conference. Kingsway CLC Trust, who put on the conference, is an independent ministry, aiming to bring you the best and broadest range of training and resourcing.

Use the postcode: BN23 6PT. Around the venue there is the main Church car park and some on road parking. When you arrive at the conference there will be stewards to help you find a space.

By train

Hampden Park railway station has regular services to and from London Victoria (including stops at Lewes, Haywards Heath, Gatwick Airport, East Croydon and Clapham Junction where you can make connections to other services), Brighton, Hastings and Ashford. The scheduled journey time to and from London is about an hour and a half but Sunday services are often disrupted for engineering works, so do check your return train times carefully.
