Our 2027 Topic

Joy Unshaken, Anchored in Christ

What does it mean to have a joy that remains steadfast, whatever our circumstances?

Join us as Nicky and Nigel Fortescue take us through Paul's letter to the Philippians, exploring how our joy can be firmly anchored in Christ. Together, we'll be encouraged to rejoice in the privilege of knowing and serving Jesus, grow in our love for one another, and find renewed confidence and purpose as we partner in making Him known.

A wonderful opportunity to be refreshed, encouraged and strengthened alongside other ministry wives.

Meet our 2027 Speakers

Nigel & Nicky Fortescue

Nigel and Nicky have been married for 32 years, and have four young adult children.

Nigel is the senior minister at Christ Church St Ives.

Nicky is a pastoral supervisor and family systems coach and is on the team at the Family Systems Institute.

They love doing ministry together and they delight in being outdoors, playing board games and relaxing at the beach. In 2026 they walked 900km on the Camino in Spain and would definitely go and do it again!
