CRE South West is no stranger to Devon. However the popular event last took place in 2015 and has been postponed twice due to the pandemic. Now the Christian Resources Exhibition (CRE) is taking place at Westpoint, Exeter on Wednesday 23 February 2022 and Thursday 24th February with some 100 exhibitors.
The theme for the 2022 CRE South West exhibition is “coming out of the pandemic positively and growing beyond it”. The aim of the exhibition is to profile the products and services available to churches, ministries and charities across Devon.
The exhibition has been welcomed by the Bishop of Exeter, Rt Rev Robert Atwell who says it is “a great opportunity to access new resources, ideas and practical tools to meet the many challenges of local ministry.”
CRE South West stands still available
More than 100 exhibitors will be present at the local Exeter exhibition venue, Westpoint in February. Resources will cover everything from new technology to financial management, fund-raising, safeguarding, cyber security, mission, youth and children’s work – all looking to help churches recover from and build beyond the pandemic.
According to Steve Goddard who heads up CRE, there are still stands available to the local business community who want to join the number of specialists available to assist local church leaders. If you are interested in exhibiting contact CRE event director, Brett Pitchfork via email at brett@creonline.co.uk.
Plus expert advice will be on hand in 30 seminars with several speakers from the region including some exhibitors.
