Meet a member of your persecuted church family

Thursday August 7, 2025 2:30pm - 2:50pm BST

Conveyor

The Bible talks about the church being a connected family and this doesn't just mean our local church, or even what we are experiencing at Satellites. Instead, it means that we are also connected to our global church family and some of that church is being persecuted. This means they could be excluded, arrested, beaten or even killed for their faith in Jesus. Come and meet Alexis from Mexico who grew up being persecuted, ask him your questions, shake his hand and connect with our global family.

Speakers

Alexis

Alexis is coming to us from overseas to share his experiences in the persecuted church. For security reasons we're unable to share his real name or a photo, and we'd ask you not to take any pictures of him on site (thanks!).

Thursday August 7, 2025 3:00pm - 3:20pm BST

Conveyor

Why does fighting injustice matter to Jesus?

Thursday August 7, 2025 3:30pm - 3:50pm BST

Conveyor

With so many things vying for our attention and affection, devoting ourselves to the costly fight against injustice can seem like a strange choice. But what if justice is so close to the heart of God, that when we pursue it we encounter Jesus in the most beautiful and life changing ways? Join Katie for 20 mins of scripture, storytelling and spoken word poetry exploring just that!

Being a Christian... in football

Thursday August 7, 2025 4:00pm - 4:20pm BST

At Satellites we often talk about how worship can take place on the sports pitch as well as in a church service - and how God is just as interested and present in both. So how does that work?

I love science - what does that mean for my faith?

God created science and wants you enjoy it, but sometimes we might feel like God and science don't get on or have nothing to say to each other. So what actually is going on? And where might dinosaurs, robots and aliens fit in? Come and find out!
