"CRE is the first date in my diary. I meet local church decision-makers face to face and discuss their requirements first hand in a unique, friendly environment. My business has grown as a direct result."
Chris Dunphy, founder of ChurchEcoMiser
"CRE brings churches together to see what’s new and what can improve their mission. There is a buzz about it. Almost every visitor comes from a forward-thinking fellowship. It is really exciting to know so many are flourishing."
Katie Duggan, JBKS Architects
