Rising Lights lift-off

James Stileman from Evangelicals Now on stage at Rising Lights

A new venture being pioneered by the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC) is taking place in Devon.

Rising Lights is underway from 6–10 April 2026 in Torquay, and is described as a chance to “hear God’s Word, to praise our risen Saviour, and to rest.”

It follows the closure of popular Christian festival Word Alive. FIEC National Director John Stevens has previously told en: “We have only decided to organise Rising Lights because Word Alive sadly decided to close. So this is a new event organised by FIEC which we hope will serve British evangelicalism more widely.”
