FIEC: 1,000 gather to mark 100 years

Nearly 1,000 pastors, elders, women’s workers, youth leaders, and others in church leadership gathered at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool in November for the 2022 FIEC Leaders’ Conference.

It was the first national conference for three years, due to the Covid pandemic, but came just in time to mark FIEC’s 100th anniversary.

FIEC was founded in 1922 with a vision to support and encourage the ministry of independent evangelical churches. So the conference theme was to reflect on the founding principles of the Fellowship that are still at the heart of FIEC: faithfulness to the truth, a commitment to unity, and mission at the heart of the local church.
