Big Start

Taking place in the Big Top tent, the Big Start is a lively way to begin the day. It introduces you to the daily theme and is a great way for all the family to pray, praise and worship together. Our All-age team will unpack the daily theme creatively with drama, creative prayer and sung worship led by the Big Top worship leader and band, with input from the dancers. It's an exhilarating way for families to start their day at Spring Harvest together.

Bible Reading

Each morning, we'll find out what God has to say to us directly from his Word, with the Big Top Bible Reading - exposition and exploration of the daily theme passage, lecture-style.

Learning Zones

The morning's teaching is streamed into four ‘learning styles' - each with similar theme and content, but allowing you to pick the style of delivery that suit's you best; ‘hands on', reflective or starting with theories. Whichever you pick, there'll be plenty of opportunity for discussion and reflection.

Leadership Masterclass

Running at both Resorts and all weeks, the Leadership Masterclass is aimed at equipping local church leaders, this morning programme provides stimulating, provocative and practical teaching from those with proven leadership skills. An opportunity for church leaders to engage with issues about how we teach, help and enable people to ‘live distinctively in a time of uncertainty’. We’ll be taking the material from each day’s Learning Zone in order to apply it to our churches.

Seminars, workshops and sports

Each afternoon you can choose from a range of topical seminars and workshops which include teaching, interaction and debate. There is also a packed sports programme with everything from 5-aside football to snooker championships!

The seminars cover a host of practical, ethical and spiritual issues relevant to today's world and how we live out the mission of the Church. For example, in previous years, seminars have focussed on reaching out to Muslims, managing debt, parenting, marriage, singleness, ecology, dealing with death and bereavement, sexuality, an examination of the cross and the ever-popular Hitchhiker's guide to the Bible - an overview of scripture from Genesis to Revelation.

Seminars - With topics linked together as trails, each seminar also works as a stand-alone session. An opportunity to explore in depth areas of life, faith and being an apprentice of Christ.

Lectures - Each afternoon, we pick up one of the major themes from the Learning Guide and ask a practitioner to expand on the challenging questions that arise for the 21^st Century church.

Workshops and training streams - we run a range of hands-on workshops and training streams which take place each afternoon, including opportunities to learn the latest new songs, drama, arts and dance workshops, using AV in worship and more.

Sports and leisure activities - If you enjoy being active, then there's a 5-aside football, fun-runs, table tennis, snooker, basketball and more!

Evening Celebrations

Every evening there's a chance to worship together in the evening Celebration.

We offer a choice of different worship opportunities to suit adults and families with children. You'll be able to worship and learn in the company of other Christians enjoying
