Get refreshed, inspired, and equipped to spread the Gospel

Are you passionate about Operation Christmas Child? Then Connect Conference 2025 is for YOU!

Every year Connect Volunteers and Project Leaders from around the UK gather to celebrate what God is doing, pray together, and get equipped for the upcoming campaign. We would love you to join us.

Featuring dynamic Bible teaching, practical seminars, and plenty of time to hangout over food and activities, you’re sure to leave Connect Conference 2025 refreshed, inspired, and ready to spread the Gospel.

This year’s conference theme is based on John 1:5 which says, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” Will you join us to find out how we can effectively spread the light of Christ through the ministry of Operation Christmas Child?
