PGP Partnership days provide the opportunity to meet to encourage one another, be equipped and pray together for the work of the gospel across the Peninsula. Each day includes some high-quality teaching on a Bible book or subject.
The teaching element of Partnership days is open to all and are particularly suitable to those who teach the Bible on a regular basis, especially members of a staff team, eldership and small group leaders.

Next Partnership Day(s)
Friday 27th February 2026
“Word Work”
with Rupert Bentley-Taylor, of Emmanuel Church, Bath
taking us through the book of Jude
This day is designed to sharpen our preaching, as we examine the work that goes into understanding a passage of the Bible for ourselves and then teaching it faithfully to others. What does it look like to let the text speak through us, to communicate as faithfully as possible the intention and message of the original author in a way that resonates with our own culture and context?
Rupert will be taking us into his study to show how he gets from text to sermon. We will spend time delving into the short but densely-packed New Testament letter of Jude, seeing each step in the process of understanding the Scriptures, applying them to ourselves and then preparing to communicate their message as clearly and faithfully as possible to others.
If you’re an experienced preacher then we hope this day will be an encouraging refresher, as we help one another to keep working hard at this vital cornerstone of our ministries.
If you’re relatively new to the concept of expository preaching, or new to preaching in general, then we hope this day will help demystify the “Word Work” involved, and give you the tools you need to get going with this life-giving ministry of sharing God’s Word.
As usual, a big part of our day will be the opportunity to network with other like-minded church leaders across the Peninsula, and to encourage one another.
Tea and coffee will be provided, but please bring your own lunch. (There is a Morrisons nearby if you forget!)
Plenty of parking freely available in nearby streets around the venue, and there is a car park by Houldsworth Road Play Area (about 5mins walk).
Eventbrite booking link follows here. But if you would prefer to book directly (£10), please drop us a line at peninsulagp@gmail.com.

February 2024 at St Kea, Truro:
… led by Andy Fenton, director of 9:38, a training day thinking through how we identify, train and release new leaders in our churches, and building on the session we had with Jen Charteris of Crosslands Training in 2022.
“As church leaders we want to raise up the next generation of Christian leaders, but where do we find them? And what do we do to help those we find? When most of us are a long way from big student churches, what does our leadership pipeline look like? And how should our thinking about the leadership pipeline be changing as our culture is changing? These are some of the questions we will be thinking through. During the day we’ll spend time looking at the Bible principles of leadership and leadership training, the reality of our situation, our current practice and our future aspirations.”
