WEBA Ministers’ Conference 2016
22nd February 2016 @ 12:00 pm - 24th February 2016 @ 2:00 pm
The 2016 Conference will take place from Monday 22nd to Wednesday 24th February, and at a new venue – Saunton Sands Hotel in Braunton, North Devon. Here’s a video to introduce you to the hotel:
This is a big change after several decades in Sidmouth, but we are trying Saunton Sands on the recommendation of our brothers and sisters in the South West Baptist Association, who made the same move a couple of years ago.
“Saunton Sands Hotel provides a delightful venue for the SWBA Ministers’ Conference. The excellent food, comfortable lounge/bar areas with lovely sea views provide a relaxing setting and the staff look after us very well. Highly recommended!” Kathryn Morgan, retired minister, SWBA.
“Good surf (sometimes), great food (always), views to die for, an extremely well stocked bar and luxurious armchairs to lounge in until the early hours of the morning catching up with friends. These are just some of the attributes that have helped to make the last few SWBA ministers conferences the best we’ve had. Well-chosen speakers and inspired worship has meant that body, mind and soul have all been ministered too.” Malc Reddaway, minister of Roselands Community Church, SWBA
One of the things they’ve told us is that several of their pastoral leaders have been coming to the conference with their spouses – perhaps in part thanks to the wide range of hotel facilities which include a pool and golf course! Whether taking part in the conference sessions, or relaxing in the hotel, we hope that the conference will be a time of refreshment for ministers, others in pastoral leadership, and spouses who would like to join them.
Our main speaker this year will be Stephen Holmes of the University of St. Andrews.
