📣 Exciting news…
Canopy 2026 can now officially go in your diaries, AND ticket bookings are now open!
We are delighted to announce that our keynote speaker for Canopy 2026 will be Dr Andrew Ollerton, speaking on the theme:
‘THE BIBLE IS TRENDING: HOW SHOULD WE RESPOND?’
Andrew is a theologian, pastor, author and presenter who makes complex ideas simple and relevant. Andrew recently developed a new edition of The Bible Course with Bible Society and published a new title with Hodder called God’s Book: An Honest Look at the Bible’s 7 Toughest Topics.
Andrew also works closely with the explorer Bear Grylls. They’ve published a Bible called the NIV for Young Explorers, produced a TV series in Israel and Andrew recently helped Bear develop a brilliant new book called The Greatest Story Ever, so we can’t wait to hear what he is bringing to share with us at Canopy 2026!
We have a brilliant programme lined up, and one of the main things we are most looking forward to is gathering together again, as a family of Scottish Baptist churches, for a day of worship, prayer, learning and fun for all ages!

SEMINARS & SPEAKERS
The Bible is God’s Word- How Can I Really Engage with it? Join Nigel Watts from Precepts Scotland…
In this seminar Nigel will be unpacking how we can really get to grips with God’s word, and how it can be brought to life!
The Transformed Church Transforms the Community! Explore this with Bee Roy from Tearfund Scotland…
In this seminar Bee will explore what the transformed church really means, and how that can impact and create lasting change in our communities!
Tearfund is a Christian charity which partners with churches in more than 50 of the world’s poorest countries. We tackle poverty and injustice through sustainable development, by responding to disasters and challenging injustice. We believe an end to extreme poverty is possible.
ALL AGE BIBLE SESSION
Join Jen Robertson, from the Scottish Bible Society, for this exciting activity based session!
Faith isn’t something we grow in alone- we need each other. When we gather across generations, something special happens. We hear different stories, ask new questions, and see Jesus in fresh ways.
A four-year-old and an eighty-year-old may experience faith very differently- but both
have something vital to bring. Together, we enrich one another.
Come and experience a taster session of intergenerational Bible engagement. Expect a
relaxed, welcoming environment with creativity, conversation, and fun- perhaps even
outdoors if the weather allows!
Join us as we listen, learn, and discover together.
more seminar details coming soon…!
