Essential Deep Dive Sessions
Trans young people are too often spoken about as a political issue, a cultural controversy, or a theological battleground – rather than as real people with real stories. Many youth leaders are left asking: How do we respond with wisdom, compassion, and integrity when a trans young person is part of our youth group or wider community?
In this YSE Deep Dive, Chris Curtis shares his personal journey of listening and learning from trans young people themselves, alongside exploring the range of ways youth ministry can thoughtfully approach this complex and sensitive topic. Expect a space that is honest, grounded, and practical – helping you lead with both conviction and care.

Baptist Assembly
15th - 16th May 2026
Harrogate Convention Centre
Tickets for Baptist Assembly 2026 are now available.
The theme of Baptist Assembly 2026 is United in Mission: gathering and sharing. A key element will be to continue our two-year process of discernment, dialogue, and engagement following the introduction of a proposed Mission Resolution at Assembly 2025. This proposed resolution, introduced by members of the Baptists Together Mission Forum, is designed to build a shared understanding of mission across the movement, with the goal of adopting the resolution at the 2027 Baptist Assembly.
Why not gather others from your church and take advantage of our group offer – buy four tickets and get the fifth free. Visit the Baptist Assembly website to keep up to date with what’s going on at Assembly 2026.

CYF Retreat
15th - 17th June 2026
Ministry is a joy, but the reality is that the work that the children, youth and family workers carry can take its toll. For many years SCBA has run a retreat for the CYF workers in the association but this year we’re joining in with the national Baptist Together CYF retreat. This will be the first national gathering of CYF workers in a long time, and we want to encourage people to book on and be part of it. We would expect churches to pay for the place but if money is an issue then grants can be found here
Highgate House Conference Centre.
Northamptonshire
From 11am on 15th June 2026
To Noon on 17th June 2026
£17 per person inclusive of all food, accommodation and guided sessions

As volunteers, Waterways Chaplains regularly walk the towpaths offering a listening ear, practical help, and pastoral presence to boaters and others who spend time on the waterways. Discover the difference this ministry makes and how your church can play a part in supporting this unique mission.
