Junior Anglican Evangelical Conference

While the Church of England continues to tie itself in knots over what it means to live in love and faith, we know that God himself is the one who defines love. In this year’s conference, therefore, we will be considering what it means to be loved by God, and to follow the commands to love God, love our
neighbours and love our enemies.

In our seminar sessions we will be thinking about the practical outworking of that love in specific areas of life and ministry:

• Loving neurodiverse people
• Loving people with gender confusion
• Loving people with disabilities
• Loving your community

There will also be a seminar specifically for those considering ordination in the Church of England or going through the selection process.

JAEC 2025 will be held at King’s Park Conference Centre, Northampton, from Tuesday 26th to Thursday 28th August.

 

About JAEC

This conference aims to help us be more effective as Anglican evangelicals, making the most of every opportunity to reach the lost for Jesus, build up the church through his word, and send workers into God’s harvest field.

If you are in Anglican ministry, lay or ordained, and at any stage from exploring ministry through to a first incumbency, you are warmly invited to JAEC. Spouses and families are also very welcome to attend, though we are unable to provide childcare during the sessions.

Resources from previous conferences

Established by John Richardson in 2011, Church Society has hosted this conference since 2014. It is specifically for those who are ‘junior’, that is anyone considering ministry in the Church of England, lay or ordained, through training, curacy and the first few years of incumbency or the equivalent. The conference aims to help anyone in that category be more effective as an Anglican Evangelical, making the most of every opportunity to reach the lost for Jesus, build up the church through his word, and send workers into God’s harvest field. JAEC is usually held in the last week of August.
