Leading your Church into Growth (LYCiG) – October 2026

The next St Albans Diocese LYCiG residential training will take place at the High Leigh Conference Centre in Hoddesdon from Friday 16 October to Sunday 18 October 2026.

We host regular LYCiG conferences with the aim of inspiring growth in churches across our diocese.

LYCiG is a Christian organisation who equip church leaders and churches to grow.

LYCiG says: “For almost 25 years we have been serving the local church across the country with a vision to encourage and equip churches to grow both numerically and spiritually. We run residential courses, provide training days and resources as well as supporting dioceses in developing their own growth programmes.  We help all kinds of churches, Catholic or Charismatic, Evangelical or Liberal, Rural or Urban, Big or Small.”

An attendee of a past conference said this:

LYCiG opened our eyes to the opportunities God has prepared in our context and what we can do with the resources we have. Within my group, even the slightly sceptical were inspired by the content, delivery, support and also the range of church traditions attending. By far, it was the best thing we have done as a benefice.

The Revd Kirsty Wainwright (a past attendee of the conference.)
