Ministry can often feel relentless. The challenges of leading in a sceptical world, the weight of responsibility, and the demands of caring for others can leave even the most dedicated of us feeling weary.

Evangelical Ministry Assembly (EMA) is a three-day conference, taking place at the Emmanuel Centre in Westminster, London, that exists to refresh, equip, and encourage those carrying the weight of gospel work.

Join us as we gather as church leaders, preachers, and Bible teachers united by a common vision—to see Christians grow in their love for Jesus and be discipled to become more like Him.

Ministry can often feel relentless. The challenges of leading in a sceptical world, the weight of responsibility, and the demands of caring for others can leave even the most dedicated of us feeling weary.

But the Word gives us every reason to press on. Jesus Christ is risen and reigning, his Word is powerful, his miracles are miraculous and his Spirit is at work in and through his people. Ministry is demanding and we want you to leave this year's Evangelical Ministry Assembly feeling deeply encouraged in your ministry.

Join us as we gather to be refreshed by God's Word, reminded of his faithfulness, and equipped for the task ahead. In addition to the main talks, you'll also have the opportunity to go deeper through a variety of plenary sessions. These will be led by experienced speakers covering a range of important topics, designed to inspire, equip and encourage you for ministry.
