The Big Church Day Out is a non-denominational charity that has been gathering the UK Church annually since 2009 for a 2 day festival of celebration in West Sussex, England.

The Big Church Day Out has a vision to create spaces where the wider church can gather together to worship and demonstrate unity in celebrating the diversity of the Christian church in the UK.

In June 2022 the Big Church Day Out will see around 40,000 people come together for what has now become Europe's largest annual ecumenical gathering of the church. We are excited that as a part of the weekend celebrations, we can extend a taste of BCDO to Belfast.

Join Jonathan and Melissa and other artists at this event in the UK!

Wildfires is a three day festival at the Wiston Estate, West Sussex, UK. It was launched in 2018 as a joint adventure between 24-7 Prayer, Worship Central, Bible Society, Pioneer, Fusion, Big Church Day Out and Tearfund.

Over the festival, thousands of all ages gather from different church expressions and communities, hungry to see revival in our time; gathering around Camp Fires that deepen friendships and community; pursuing together Holy Fire through worship, prayer and teaching; and encountering the Wild Fire of the Holy Spirit to take back to our homes, communities and our nations.

Join Jonathan David and Melissa Helser with many other well known artists and speakers that are joining together for a time of worship, teaching and prayer. The send is the thousands of remarkable believers that will gather to worship, pray and commit like never before to the missional life. Our speakers and worship leaders are servants who have come to champion and encourage a generation into their calling.

Have you ever heard the lie, “you’re too much,” or “not enough”? As women, it can be easy to feel alone in the hustle of life. This 4-day intensive is an opportunity for women to stand up to the voice of diminishment, connect to the heart of God, and root deep in the truth: God sees you and He is hungry to speak to you about your significance.

This extended weekend is created to nourish the heart of women through learning vulnerability with God, journaling His voice, practicing emotional health tools and enjoying connection with other women. Join Melissa Helser and Cageless Birds women staff and be ready to experience the love of God and discover the beauty of the home He’s made inside your heart.
