Writers’ Retreat 2026

Watch teaching from Union’s first Writers’ Retreat in Bridgend, Wales

In July 2026, Union hosted its first ever Writers’ Retreat. This was an important inaugural gathering of Christian writers with two crucial aims.

Firstly, to equip writers to write with theological depth and gospel warmth, creating a space for learning, discussion and spiritual formation by looking to Christ together. And secondly, to build up and shape writers who lead readers to adore Christ, for the good of the global church. 

We were thrilled to gather writers together under these aims and enjoyed a range of sessions, from the theological foundation of writing to more practical workshops and seminars.
