The FIEC Leaders’ Conference, held in 2016 from 31 October to 3 November, is the main annual gathering for FIEC churches.
563 pastors, church leaders and church workers representing over 200 churches met this year in the metropolis of Hemsby on the Norfolk coast.’
Engaging evangelism
Ed Stetzer was the keynote speaker on the conference theme of Engaging Evangelism. He aimed to provoke the conference into becoming more missional. Ed swims in the same theological stream as FIEC (though on the other side of the pond) and it was clear that he understood the group well. He pictured the constituency as a muscular theological upper body with spindly missional legs. Walking through the gospels, he challenged people to move out to all types of people and to make the culture of our churches more missional. Sometimes hilarious, the talks also packed a prophetic punch for UK churches.
