Lots of church leaders inherit (or are responsible for) a haphazard and opportunistic approach to mission. How can we refocus, downsize (if necessary), and be strategic about mission partnerships in the church? What does it mean to lead the church in this area?

In this seminar, Michael Prest (UFM Worldwide) and Anthony Adams (Radstock Ministries) help us think clearly about a realistic but worthy approach to mission.

This seminar was given at the 2025 FIEC Leaders' Conference held in Blackpool from 10-12 November 2025.

About the speakers: Michael Prest serves as Director of UFM Worldwide and is an elder at Emmanuel Church Marlborough, Wiltshire. He has previously served in mission and pastoral ministry in Southeast Asia and Nottingham.

Anthony Adams is Executive Director of Radstock Ministries, a network of 100+ churches in 19 countries, partnering together for global mission.

About the Leaders' Conference: The title of the 2025 Leaders' Conference was Church Without Borders, exploring how we can serve God’s mission in a mobile world.

About FIEC: We are a fellowship of Independent churches with members of the family across England, Scotland and Wales. Our mission is to see those Independent churches working together with a big vision: to reach Britain for Christ. Find out more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fiec.org.uk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
