National Assembly 2026

It's not long now till the 2026 National Assembly ... and this year we are being hosted by the North East Area ... at the Hope Centre and other venues in Sheffield.

It will be a time of worship and celebration as well as presentations on the work of the Congregational Federation, and the chance to welcome Rob Hunter as our CF President for 2026/27.

Our weekend starts with Pastors Jonathan & Abbiih Oloyede sharing about the National Day of Prayer and the Shine your Light Initiative and encouraging all those in Ministry on the Friday afternoon at Hillsborough Tabernacle Church, and and a Folk Night at Tapton Hill Church on Friday evening.

Saturday we have our Assembly and Saturday evening there will be a social time. 

We invite you to a fun filled social evening at Hillsborough Tabernacle Church including a pie & peas supper with a variety of professional acts compared by Robert Waddington (you have been warned!). Please complete numbers and dietary requirements on the booking form.


Please Note: Parking at both Tapton and Hillsborough Tabs is limited to on-street parking so public transport is advised. A limited number of accessible parking spaces are available next to Hillsborough Tabs.


Luzia Watt our Church Support Worker will also host a Children and Youth Assembly so please encourage any children and young people to attend. 

Please complete your lunch order as soon as possible and get it back to us - if you are unable to pay by cheque please advise on the order form and an invoice can be emailed with a payment button. Completed orders by Friday 10th April 2026 at the latest.

At the heart of Congregationalism is fellowship. Come and be with others from Congregational churches across Great Britain. Come in love, come in joy, come in peace.
