UK UNIFY 2019

The Venue

1/3

This year's UK Unify Conference will be held at Launde Abbey a stunning Christian Retreat House and Conference Centre set in the heart of England.

Set in beautiful parkland of 450 acres on the borders of Leicestershire and Rutland, the Abbey has 39 en-suite bedrooms which can accommodate up to 78 people; full conference facilities; comprehensive dining facilities; extensive cultivated gardens and a wonderful twelfth century Chapel (part of the original Augustinian priory).

Theme & Contributors

This year we've been thinking about the journey of faith, how it shapes and informs our work and how we grow through our experiences of the good times and bad.

At UK Unify we'll be closely following the story of Peter, one of Jesus' disciples. Peter is one of those people that most of us at some point will resonate with. He often puts his foot in it, he makes mistakes and doesn't always 'get it'.

Peter will provide us with a point of reflection, as we think through our own journey of Christian Mission alongside that of our YMCAs

In addition to our brilliant team of planners, this year we'll be bringing some familiar faces back to UK Unify to help us navigate the journey together.
