Manager member Virtual Roundtables

Our bi-monthly Virtual Roundtables bring church managers together from across the UK for conversation, encouragement and practical development. These gatherings are included as part of a UCAN Manager level membership, providing a dedicated space to connect with colleagues who understand the realities of church leadership.

Each session offers:

  • Spiritual encouragement and reflection

  • Skills-focused discussion and practical insights

  • Peer support through breakout room conversations

The roundtables run for 1 hour 15 minutes over a lunchtime slot every other month. They are completely free to attend for Manager level members, offering a convenient way to engage in professional growth and support the ministry being led.

Join us to share experiences, learn from peers and take new insights back to your church teams.
