Alumni events 2026

With Formation School back in full flow this year we have sought to advertise ad-hoc opportunities to engage with one another and refresh our vision to make disciples of others. Coming up this term is an opportunity to join one of our Formation School evenings this term. This is a track 3 evening and Callom has lined up his good friend Luke Cawley to come and speak on Pluralism & Apathy. Callom writes:
“Jesus said in John 14:6 "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." And yet, many of our friends, family, and colleagues hold a pluralistic assumption when it comes to Jesus: "Jesus is a way, a truth, a life." Perhaps even harder, many in our world simply do not care about Jesus. They aren't antagonistic, they simply aren't interested (apathy). Luke Cawley will help us think about these challenges in a Jesus and person-centred way, encouraging us in how we can share the gospel of grace in a pluralistic and apathetic environment.”
When: Tuesday 24th February 2026 from 6:30-9:30pm
Where: The ABC lounge. Doors will open from 6:15pm for the session which will run from 6:30-9:30pm with a break mid-session for huddle discussion around the content. Please access via the Ogle Road Entrance.
If you are able to make it please email us at formationschool@abovebarchurch.org.uk.
