Corporis Conference

Crossroads Alliance and West London Alliance churches have partnered together to begin a yearly conference called Corporis. Corporis is the Latin word for “body.” It appears in the New Testament in Ephesians 4:11-12 : And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ (ESV, italics ou

rs). Our intention is that this conference be for the body; we desire that Corporis would be used for building up the body of Christ. We believe that the church is the means God uses to accomplish the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19) and the context in which we obey the Great Commandment (Mark 12:29-31). The church is to glorify God and make him known. Therefore, it is worth our efforts to help equip and build up the body. Whereas our primary concern is our own congregations, we intentionally extend an invitation to all Christian pastors, leaders, and lay people who desire to be edified and strengthened through the teaching, fellowship, singing and prayer at this conference. We intend to expose our congregations and our guests to proven teachers of God’s Word who apply the Bible to issues of significance to churches. We want God’s people to be equipped by God’s Word for the work of ministry. We believe Corporis will help us achieve that end.
