Our National Conference is for those serving in Christian residential ministry across the UK - a vital space to reconnect, refocus, and be refreshed among those who understand the unique calling and challenges of this work.
'Jesus at Work': How we can integrate our faith in Jesus into our daily work so that it becomes a natural expression of our Christian lives rather than something separate? As people serving in Christian residential ministry, how can we share the hope we have in Christ with confidence and authenticity among our guests and others we encounter?

The Hayes Conference Centre, Swanwick, Derbyshire DE55 1AU
Here's what some attendees from the 2026 Conference had to say:
“Thank you so much to all the team for making me feel so welcome - I definitely gained a lot by being at the conference: I almost didn't want to leave!” (First-time attendee)
“The CRNet conference reminds you that you are not alone in residential ministry and is a great opportunity for being re-motivated to continue with your mission.”
“It's all too easy to get bogged down in the day to day running of our own ministries. It's REALLY helpful to be able to find the time to see that we are not on our own, many people struggle with the same things, and there's lots of advice and help from those who have walked the same road before us. Meeting together to pray, encourage and listen to each other from a business perspective is as important as not neglecting to meet together as fellowships.”
