BFP-CONFERENCE 2026
… 21.09. bis 24.09. in Willingen/Upland & Livestream
Under the theme “PIONEERS: Faith Dares New Ground,” the conference intentionally looks ahead. It is based on a biblical impulse from Hebrews 11:8: Abraham follows God’s call into the unknown. This perspective is meant to encourage participants to take new steps and to shape church life in a way that remains relevant and sustainable in a changing society.
