Welcome to Aber 2025

Aber 2025 welcomes Christians from all over Wales, the United Kingdom and the world to the beautiful seaside setting of Aberystwyth to be refreshed by the Word. Aberystwyth is the home for the Annual English Conference of the Evangelical Movement of Wales. Whether for your first, or fiftieth time, come and sing God’s praise, enjoy fellowship, and be equipped for service.

The conference takes place on the university campus in Aberystwyth.

Our programme offers something for everyone, as well as leaving time for you to enjoy the beaches, coastal path, cafes and other attractions of Aber and the surrounding area.

The preaching of God’s Word is central to the conference. Our main speaker is Vaughan Roberts, Rector of St Ebbe’s Church, Oxford.

Our programme includes:

• Morning and Evening Preaching in the Great Hall
• Prayer Meetings
• Workshops
• Fellowship Groups

The main focus of the conference is our morning and evening preaching meetings, where we meet together to worship God. Please pray for all those who will preach at Aber 2025.
