About this year's speaker
Paul Watts, originally from Bedfordshire, has been a member of what is now Hillfields Church Coventry for over 50 years. For 35 of those years, Paul served as pastor and, over the 50 year period, the church has experienced significant change.
Paul retired as pastor in 2020 but has continued as an elder until very recently, having now stepped down for health reasons.
​
Before going into the ministry he taught Religious Studies in schools across Croydon, Walsall and Coventry.
​
He and his wife, Hazel, have three adult children and six grandchildren.
Programme
On the day, registration will begin at 9am and the conference will run to approximately 4pm. We'll publish the 2026 programme as the conference date nears so come back soon for more information.

Food and Fellowship
For many, the highlight of the Conference is the opportunity for fellowship with others who share the same love for Christ and His church. As usual the ample coffee and meal breaks provide an excellent opportunity for that as well as the chance to browse the well-stocked bookstall.
​
Please book your place at the conference before Saturday 7th March 2026 to guarantee lunch.
Venue
The Conference will be held at Central Offices, the home of Dewsbury Evangelical Church. The church is near to the M1 and M62 and thereby easily accessible. Most places in the North of England are less than two hours by car and many less than one hour.
