Come and meet the risk-takers of the persecuted church
You’re invited to gather with Christians across the UK and Ireland to worship and pray with our brothers and sisters who are risking everything for Christ.
Instead of one event this year, Standing Strong will be hosted in-person in regions all over the UK and Ireland. There will be seminars where you will have the opportunity to interact with our speakers and hear their stories, ask them questions and pray with them.
Join us to find out how your prayers and gifts are making a difference and celebrate what God is doing in some of the most dangerous places in the world to be a Christian.

What if I have tickets for Resorts World Arena?
This year, we felt it was important to bring Standing Strong to local regions to make it both easy and cost-effective for all our supporters to attend. With this in mind, we have decided to cancel the event booking at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham.
If you have ticket(s) booked for the Standing Strong event at Resorts World Arena, Birmingham, all of your tickets – including any youth, children, family, group and lunch tickets that you may have ordered – will now be automatically refunded to you via Ticket Factory or Eventbrite.
