catch the vision

Across Dorset, something is stirring. In towns, villages, and communities across the county, people are asking deeper questions, exploring faith, and showing a growing openness to God. At the same time, local churches are faithfully loving, serving, and sharing Jesus every day.

Light Up Dorset brings these together — a shared moment for the Church to step forward in unity, strengthening and amplifying what is already happening. The question we are asking is simple: what might happen if the Church across Dorset stepped out together — now?

Together, we are preparing for a county-wide mission in 2027 — partnering with Palau, equipping churches through evangelism training, and stepping into a focused month of mission and invitation across Dorset. This will lead to a free, family-friendly festival for the whole community — filled with live music, DJs, extreme sports and a clear message of hope as Andrew Palau shares the good news of Jesus.

Throughout the mission month and at the festival, people will be invited to respond, with a follow-on season helping them explore faith through courses such as Alpha and connect with local churches. This is more than an event; it is a movement — trusting that as we move together, lives will be changed, hope restored, and communities transformed.

Commit your church

to partner with

This is a pivotal moment for the Church across Dorset. As we look ahead to a season of united, intentional outreach, we’re inviting churches of all sizes and traditions to stand together in sharing the hope of the Gospel.

Light Up Dorset is more than an event—it’s a movement of prayer, service, and proclamation across our communities. By partnering with us, your church can play a vital role in reaching people with the love of Jesus, equipping your congregation with confidence, and building lasting relationships that continue well beyond the festival.

Whether through prayer, practical service, giving, volunteering, or helping people take their next steps in faith, every church has something valuable to bring. Together, we can see lives transformed and our region impacted in a powerful way.

Join a growing number of churches stepping forward in unity and mission.

Imagine what God will do…
