YBA Renew Collective - Open Evenings

Regional Minister, Revd Leoné Martin, shares news of our Renew Collective Open Evenings:

God is on the move in Yorkshire. Across our region we are seeing shoots of hope — people coming to faith, new expressions of church emerging, growing diversity within congregations, and renewed confidence in mission. At the same time, many churches are longing for renewal after seasons of decline.

What is the Renew Collective?

The Renew Collective is a learning community for churches within the Yorkshire Baptist Association who desire to see spiritual renewal and growth in and through their local church.

We are passionate about helping churches to:

• Share Jesus with confidence

• Grow healthy, Spirit-filled churches

• Raise up and develop missional leaders

Who is it for?

• Churches longing to deepen their relationship with Jesus

• Churches seeking to rediscover a renewed vision

• Churches wanting to increase fruitfulness and see people come to faith

• Churches eager to make a greater positive impact in their community

• Leaders who value peer learning, encouragement, and accountability

What we offer

• Three 1-day gatherings per year in a supportive learning environment

• Peer learning, support, and accountability with other YBA churches

• Guided action planning to help turn vision into practice

• Developing missional confidence for leaders and churches

• Support and accompaniment from a YBA Regional Minister

• Space to listen to God, learn together, and take courageous steps forward
