National Conference 2027
We face a discipleship deficit in the UK church. For many, the idea of making disciples can feel daunting and best left to ‘the experts’. The key for overcoming this trend is people like you - focused on spiritual growth through one-to-one relationships. For 70 years, Navigators UK has been focused on raising up generations of ordinary people to get alongside others. We desire to see the whole church make disciples, not just the specially trained few.
This conference is for everyday Christians who are ready for a renewed vision for life-on-life disciple-making - something which could be one of your most thrilling faith adventures yet! Come along to be encouraged, engage with others, hear real life stories of getting alongside others, for teaching and worship.

*(A 'Giving' Ticket pays for your ticket and subsidises someone else's ticket. The National Conference is an important part of our disciple making ministry and we therefore subsidise all ordinary tickets to enable as many people as possible to attend. If you are in a position to contribute to this subsidy we would be very grateful as it will enable us to use these resources for other aspect of our work.)
Speakers
Melinda Hendry
Melinda works for Living Leadership where she is involved in nurturing spiritual healthiness in Christian leaders. Recently she completed an MA in Spiritual Formation and loves to help people deepen their relationship with Christ. Previously, she served as a Senior Minister at All Souls Church, Langham Place. She is married to Ross and they live in London. Originally from Boston, and one of her greatest accomplishments in married life has been turning Ross into a Red Sox fan, something he is not currently thanking her for.
Mark Greene
Mark was led to Christ by a Navigator and then discipled by Navs for over ten years. Perhaps not surprisingly, he’s been a pioneer for everyday whole-life discipleship and workplace ministry nationally and internationally ever since – on Madison Avenue, as Vice-Principal of LST, Exec Director of LICC and now as a freelance catalyst and Head of Faith and Work at Premier Christian Communications. His books include Thank God it’s Monday, Making Disciples for the Workplace, and Fruitfulness on the Frontline. A film fan, Mark does a reasonable imitation of Mr Bean and a terrible one of Sean Connery. His wife Katriina wishes it were the other way round. His three adult children wish he wouldn’t do either.
Phil Boydell
Phil oversees and leads the work of the Navigators in the UK. His childhood dream was to play for Arsenal, but when that didn’t work out he tried studying, pizza-making and working in bioethics. All this time he was being discipled by the Navs and found himself captured by a different goal: the vision of getting alongside others. He brings the energy of a premier league footballer to his role, seeking to empower and enable others in the purposes God has for their lives.
