The Speaker
Although Peter Brierley recently retired from being the executive Director of Christian Research, he continues to act as a Church Consultant because he is deeply concerned to enable churches to thrive in the tough days ahead.  He has extensive experience of noting trends in church life today, and has had the privilege of taking many seminars for church leaders and lay people.  this seminar follows through the pattern of his (as yet unpublished) book looking at strategic opportunities for evaluating where we are going and what we could all be doing.

The Cost
£5.00 for the day
