Scotland’s most urgent need in 2026 is for the gospel. That gospel needs to be heard, believed and followed all across our nation. But for the gospel to be heard, it needs to be offered.
This year’s ETS Conference will focus on The Free Offer of the Gospel – a subject that has been a source of controversy and tension in the history of the Scottish Church and which today remains an urgent priority as we seek to meet the deepest needs of our nation.
Join us on Saturday 26th September as we explore the rich theological history and consider the immediate contemporary relevance of this profound and priceless topic.
The conference is open to everyone – whether you’re a student, minister, church member or simply interested in exploring the subject more deeply. As well as hearing from our four speakers, there will be plenty of opportunity to meet others and enjoy time together. We hope many from across the wider church will take the opportunity to come along, be encouraged and enjoy the day together.
