YBA Ministers’ Conference

21st to 23rd October 2024

At Cober Hill,
near Scarborough

A message from the Regional Ministers

After the wonderful time we had together last year, we are delighted to open registration for the 2024 YBA Ministers’ Conference.

It’ll be an opportunity, at the start of an academic year and before the busyness of Christmas, for personal and corporate renewal and refreshing, encountering God in intimacy, and fellowshipping with other ministers and pastors from our Baptist family in Yorkshire.

We will spend time listening to God together in a comfortable and relaxing setting.

There will be personal space for reflection and unwinding, lots of laughter and chats, worship and prayer, making new friends and catching up with existing friends.

We will encourage one another as we hear about and reflect on self-care and on stories of Jesus at work in the communities we serve, sharing in the bigger vision across the region that God has called us to.

Our 2024 theme is: How can the Gospel be seeded and thrive throughout Yorkshire, and what can we do about it?

We are excited to be joined by two guest speakers who will help us unpack this theme:

Dr Elli Wort


Dr Elli Wort is Head of Initial Training, Director of Studies and also a Research Associate at Church Army. She is co-author of Fuzzy Church: Gospel and Culture in the North of England.

Revd Dr Christian Selvaratnam

Revd Dr Christian Selvaratnam is Dean of Church Planting at St Hild College and one of the Ambassadors of the Archbishops’ College of Evangelists. He was the National Director of Alpha UK, and a church planter.

We are praying that we will all encounter Jesus at Cober and return to our contexts encouraged, inspired, strengthened, renewed and refreshed to flourish.
