Man Alive 2026: Spring Gathering
Man Alive is a Christian Men’s event to celebrate, equip and encourage men in their walk of faith.
After a successful Autumn gathering at St Lukes Church in Blackburn we are delighted to meet this time at Fulwood Free Methodist Church in Preston on Thursday 18 June at 7:30pm.
The evening will be hosted by Rev Mike Barton, Vicar of Longridge and Tim Mitchell, Trustee of Fulwood Free. Alongside inspiring worship and encouraging testimony, guest speakers will include Pastor Jamie Haxby of Hope Church, Lancaster and Rev Matt Guilder, Anglican Chaplain to Lancaster University.
‘10 of Those’ books will also be joining us, and there will be time for prayer ministry, fellowship and refreshments.
