European Bible Lectureship 2026
A landmark gathering of Churches of Christ from across Europe — three days of deep Scripture study, inspired preaching, and meaningful fellowship. Join us in Duisburg, Germany.
The European Bible Lectureship is a bi-annual event that brings together members, preachers, and leaders from Churches of Christ across Europe for a concentrated season of Bible study, worship, and brotherly fellowship. Organised through a collaboration of church leaders from across the continent, this gathering has become one of the most anticipated events in the European Church of Christ calendar.
The 2026 edition will be held over three full days — Friday 3rd through Sunday 5th April — at the Jugendherberge Duisburg Sportpark in Duisburg, Germany. Six carefully chosen sessions will explore the nature, identity, and mission of the Church through Scripture, delivered by gifted preachers drawn from across the brotherhood.
Whether you are a long-standing member of the church or someone exploring the faith for the first time, this lectureship is open to all. Families, youth groups, and entire congregations are warmly encouraged to attend together.

Why AttendEvents like this are rare and precious. The European Bible Lectureship is more than a conference — it is a living expression of the unity we share as one body across national borders and languages. Over three days, you will sit with brothers and sisters from different countries, hear God's Word expounded with clarity and conviction, and leave strengthened in your faith and your sense of belonging to the global Church.
For families, it is a powerful opportunity to show your children what the worldwide Church looks like. For individuals, it is a chance to be refreshed, challenged, and reminded that you are not alone in your walk with God. For entire congregations, it is an act of solidarity with the wider body of Christ in Europe.
