PGP partnership events 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 the regular (typically termly) partnership events 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.
We’re currently settling into something of a pattern:
Spring term: the Deepen conference, which we re-launched in 2026, and which we hope to expand significantly in 2027. See HERE for details.
Summer term: this will most commonly be “A Book in a Day” – typically four sessions to get an overview of a single Bible book … but we’ll occasionally look to provide something focusing on some other aspect of church ministry.
Autumn term: several local hubs streaming the annual Evangelism Conference. Good for bringing all sorts of folks from your churches, certainly not restricted to just those in more formal teaching or leadership roles.
Women’s conference: following an excellent meeting in 2025, there’s another one of these planned for 2026, and hopefully annually thereafter.
Specific details of upcoming events will appear here, followed by records of or notes from the previous couple of years, to give you a feel of how our general plan has been mapping out in practice.

“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.
