Love South West 2024
Come together for a united weekend of worship, service and invitation
Pray. Serve. Invite.
What could happen if churches across the South West united together for a weekend to worship and pray, serve our communities, and invite the region to Try Church?…
Kingdom COme
PRAY. Gather together in one of the 3 locations alongside other churches across the South West for an evening of prayer, worship and seeking to build God’s Kingdom here in the South West.
Serve Day
SERVE. On the Saturday, we spread out and serve our local communities. This year we are encouraging churches to organise events themselves to bless their local communities. Have a chat with the church you're part of about what you could be doing in your local community.
#trychurch
INVITE. Invite your family and friends to Try Church at your local church and other churches throughout the South West.
A Brief History of Love South West and its inception
2017 was the beginning of the Love South West journey when two churches in Plymouth got together for a night of united worship & prayer - 300 people gathered and God turned up in power!
In 2018 we felt God nudging us to gather together again to worship and pray, but to cast the net wider and invite five other churches in Plymouth to join us. They all agreed, all 700 tickets quickly sold, and God poured out his power and presence.
After such incredible momentum and support across the region, we felt God prompting us to cast the net even wider in 2019 and gather people from across the region not only to worship and pray but then to spend a day serving their neighbours and local communities and invite them to try church. More than 1,500 people filled Plymouth Pavilions for a night of worship and prayer before spilling out into the streets over the rest of the weekend, to serve local communities and invite them to church.
After taking a break over the Covid pandemic, in 2022 we partnered again with local churches in Plymouth with a Kingdom Come night of worship and prayer before bringing joy to our communities for our serve day and invited neighbours and friends to try church! Last year as momentum continued to gather again, we met at Methodist central in Plymouth for an incredible night of prayer and worship which has inspired us and raised our faith and expectation for LSW 2024!
This year we are going bigger with 3 hubs across the South West region in Plymouth, Cornwall and North Devon. Our hope and prayer is that extending this out into more areas will allow more people to be able access and attend LSW nearer to them and bless more communities and churches in the process. We'd love to invite you to join us again for Love South West 24 on 17-19th May, as we seek to bless the region and lift the name of Jesus high!
