Our Vision | Everything Conference

Everything exists to build a multi-generational movement of Christians seeking cultural renewal throughout society.

Through the Everything Conference, gatherings of leaders, the Everything Course, and online content, we seek to encourage, equip, and connect Christians to build a relational community working for cultural renewal across sectors, vocations, and life-stages.

When spiritual renewal has happened in the past, culture has been transformed: people have been lifted out of poverty, new educational opportunities have strengthened people’s lives, and better work places and improving healthcare have led to the flourishing of society. As it has happened in the past, we believe it can happen again.

We hope you can join us at the next conference.

Our Story

For some years, David and Philippa Stroud have hosted the Everything Conference, an annual day-long conference drawing together hundreds of Christians across London and beyond. The aim was to inspire and equip followers of Jesus to shape culture. As the conference gained traction, we found that people would also appreciate practical content to help them apply what they had learnt. The Everything Course was developed as a 6-week course designed for small groups to help encourage and collaborate with each other in their work for cultural renewal, whatever their context. Interviews and keynotes from previous conferences are shared online to create a hub of resources to inspire, provoke, and share stories of what cultural renewal looks like in individual lives. Through these efforts, Christians around the world have been equipped and encouraged in their work of cultural renewal, and we’re excited about where God will lead us next.
