CHURCH INNOVATORS & CREATIVES TOUR
London 14-21 November 2023
Hey there - thanks for your interest in the Church Innovators & Creatives Tour!
Alpha will be hosting a small group of like-minded innovators and creatives in London for a perspective-shifting trip this November. London is known for its creativity and pioneering spirit – we will have plenty of time to soak up the culture of the city through our visit to churches, historical landmarks and creative experiences.
The focal point of this trip is RENAISSANCE 2023 with Al Gordon and creative leaders, church pioneers, artists & entrepreneurs from all over the world. The big idea of RENAISSANCE is to see a new Renaissance across the globe that flows from every church to every community. That’s something we want to see in Australia, and believe that God wants to deposit something in us on this trip to bring home to Australia.
You will find a draft itinerary & costs below.
COST
There is a cost of AU $650 per person which covers the programmed time below including RENAISSANCE Conference, selected creative experiences and some meals.
