Church Resources Exhibition Unveils New Vision
Faith Facts
- The Christian Resources Exhibition in the UK is now called the Church Resources Exhibition (CRE) starting with its 2026 season.
- The annual event remains dedicated to equipping church leaders, offering resources and inspiration for congregations of all denominations.
- This year’s event introduces expanded content, including leadership conferences and a new Youth Worship and Music Zone.
The Church Resources Exhibition, formerly known as the Christian Resources Exhibition, carries forward a four-decade legacy of service to the church in the United Kingdom. Organizers highlight this change as a renewed commitment to supporting Christian values and strengthening communities through practical ministry tools.
The exhibition continues to unite ministries, businesses, and charities with a shared purpose under God’s direction. The name change aims to welcome every church and expand practical support for worship, outreach, and stewardship.
“The Church Resources Exhibition builds on CRE’s rich heritage while creating a clearer, more inclusive platform for today’s church leadership community.”
Batterbee said.
This milestone event, launching Oct. 14–15 at Sandown Park, reflects the vision Gospatric and Diana Home started in 1985—to provide a center for effective church resourcing rooted in biblical mission.
By expanding its program to include leadership development and resources for youth worship, CRE underscores the importance of equipping all generations in faith and service.
“What has evolved is our focus — placing church leadership, decision-makers and ministry teams at the center of the event, and equipping them with the resources they need for today’s challenges.”
Batterbee said.
“We are passionate about serving churches well, and the response so far has been incredibly encouraging — this is very much the beginning of what’s to come.”
CRE extends its Christian impact year-round through webinars and resources, helping believers and congregations meet modern challenges with wisdom and faith.
The Church Resources Exhibition stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith-driven collaboration, shaping church life for the present and future.
