Join us! The LInC Conference brings together people who are passionate about serving in and alongside low-income communities.

Join us for a day of inspiration, encouragement and practical learning

The Oxford Diocese Low Income Communities (LinC) Network Conference brings together clergy, lay leaders, ministry teams, volunteers, pioneers, children, youth and families workers, and anyone passionate about serving in and alongside low-income communities.

Whether you are already involved in ministry within areas of deprivation or exploring how your church can engage more deeply with issues of mission, discipleship, justice and community transformation, this day is for you.
