About this Event
"Witness" - A noun. A verb. A stand that we take. A difference that we make.
Join us on the 14 November in the historic Scottish capital for the 2026 LCF Annual Conference & AGM, as we consider what it means to be witness for Jesus in Law.
Why attend?
This weekend conference could change your Monday morning! Seriously.
In our recent survey LCF members told us that they're comfortable telling people they're Christians, but they were uncertain about how. Join us to be equipped and inspired now for the "how".
