~ Worship Central Conference 2011 ~

On October 28th & 29th 2011 Worship Central’s annual conference will be taking place at HTB’s London Sites.

We’ll be hosting one very big weekend dedicated to worship leaders, their teams and all those who love to worship. A multi-site conference with some fantastic training from practical workshops to master classes, passionate worship to inspired teaching and lots of space for ministry. Plus you get to hang out in the heart of London!

If you want to get a piece of the action and don’t want to miss some incredible teaching and worship from Martin Smith, Matt Redman, J.John, The Rend Collective Experiment, Vicky Beeching,  Worship Central team and many other guests, check out the details below!

This event is multi-site, there will be no difference in the two venues as there will be a live link between the two sites and both will have live speakers throughout the conference. Both venues will run in sync with each other so you won’t miss out!
