The Thrive’26 Gathering brought Christians from workplaces across Scotland together to be inspired, connected, and strengthened as the body of Christ sent into the workplace.

Together, we celebrated how God is at work in workplaces across Scotland. Participants heard inspiring testimonies, built meaningful connections with others in their cities, and gained practical encouragement and tools to live out and share their faith at work.

The Gathering took place as a two-part hybrid event across Scotland, comprising concurrent city gatherings in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Falkirk and Aberdeen, alongside a national online forum via Zoom that connected participants from different cities.

Thrive’25 Conference is a multi-city Christian event designed to encourage, equip, and empower believers to live out their faith in the workplace and bring transformation wherever they are.

Over the course of one week, the conference toured five cities – Glasgow, Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, and Edinburgh. No two conferences were the same: each city hosted a unique programme, featuring a total of 35 speakers and supported by 48 volunteers across the conferences. More than 300 people took part in Thrive’25, a remarkable milestone given that, although the conference has its roots in Aberdeen, it was new to the other cities.

Many sacrificed to make this conference possible – from speakers who flew in from as far as America and others who travelled from across England, to participants who journeyed great distances to attend.

Looking ahead, our hope is that Thrive’25 will spark a movement of workplace Christian groups across Scotland. There is still much work to be done – and in many ways, the end of the conferences marks only the beginning.
