Our annual Bible Conference in March 2007 was combined with a Biblical Leadership Seminar with a theme : 'Leading with Love'. Running from Friday 16th to Saturday 17th it was time of biblical teaching and encouragement to emphasise that love is an essential part of all aspects of Christian ministry but especially for leadership in the church.
The speakers were Alexander Strauch and Alastair Noble, both of whom are gifted Bible teachers. Their presentations were compelling but, in keeping with the theme, also very gracious and had a sound scriptural basis. The clarity of their talks and the responses to a question and answer sessions clearly came from their personal experiences of practical church leadership as well as their learning and Biblical knowledge.
An international audience from a variety of countries as well as from local churches enjoyed the teaching and the opportunity to have fellowship together. There was also time to share experiences with other delegates and browse the bookstalls during the breaks.
To complement the spiritual aspects, the physical needs were met by lovingly prepared meals delivered by a very well organised group within the church who provided the catering. The combination provided an event that was enjoyed by all who attended.



An audio file of most of the sessions can be downloaded in Windows Media format to play on your PC. Unfortunately the Q&A session on Saturday is not available, but the Sunday Evening service which rounded off this excellent weekend of teaching is included.
