• London 2025 WST Registration

    26-31 December 2025, Woodland Camp (London, UK)

  • The Winter School of Truth is a residential conference for young people aged 11-18. This year, the conference will be held in multiple locations:

    • North UK (Derbyshire): Serving the Midlands, Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland.
    • South UK (London): Serving the South and the East of England and Wales.

    Additionally, the Winter School will be held in Spain, Ireland and the Netherlands.

    The London Winter School of Truth is hosted by the church in London and will take place from 26 to 31 December. The event comprises two sections: Juniors (school years 7-11) and Seniors (school years 12-13) at Woodland Camp.

    First Timothy 2:4 says that God desires all men to come to the full knowledge of the truth and Second Timothy 3:16 says that the scriptures are profitable for teaching. Although it is a "school" in name, the nature of the teaching is not like a secular school where the emphasis is on the acquisition of knowledge. Instead, its emphasis is the experiential apprehension of the truth. This can be likened to a restaurant that not only presents the menu but serves the food listed as dishes for enjoyment.

    The goal is for the young people, through this kind of teaching, to taste and see the Lord as the reality of all the truths in the Word. This is carried out in a loving family atmosphere, where the young people are nurtured to grow in the Lord and receive the love of the truth.

    Are there any questions, requests or concerns you would like to share with us? While we cannot guarantee an answer, we will do our best and want you to know we care.

    Feel free to ask any question no matter small and we will try to find a way during the week to respond.

  • 3 Parents

  • The Winter School of Truth is a six-day residential conference for young people. We thank the Lord that this year will mark our 22nd consecutive Truth School in the UK. This time the subject will be "The Vision and Building of the Church", the fifth topic in a six-year cycle.

    The Nature and Goal

    First Timothy 2:4 says that God desires all men to come to the full knowledge of the truth, and Second Timothy 3:16 says that the scriptures are God-breathed and profitable for teaching. Although it is a "school" in name, the nature of the teaching is not like a secular school where the emphasis is on the acquisition of knowledge. Instead, its emphasis is the experiential apprehension of the truth. This can be likened to a restaurant that not only presents the menu but serves the food listed as dishes for the patron's enjoyment.

    The goal is for young people, through this kind of teaching, to taste and see the Lord as the reality of all the truths in the Word. This is carried out in a loving family atmosphere, where the young people are nurtured to grow in the Lord and receive the love of the truth.

    Daily Activities

    Each day of the Winter School includes small group and large meetings, study sessions and testings, with much singing and enjoyment all centred around the Bible. Throughout the week young people are encouraged to develop their personal relationship with the Lord and corporate pursuit with companions. There are also times for recreation including team-building projects, games and sports as well as an opportunity for some to join a Bible distribution in the local area. The last night of the conference concludes with a delightful graduation for young people who are in their final year.

    Safeguarding

    The church in London prioritises health, safety and safeguarding. All workers undergo Enhanced DBS checks and the church's approval process. Refer to the first-aid policy, good practice guidelines and safeguarding policy for more details.

    Parents Participation

    Recognising the crucial role of parents, we would like to coordinate with you to care for your child, ensuring their growth and development in the Lord, and the well-being of all the young participants at the Winter School and beyond.

    We encourage you to consider the following:

    1. Consider Serving: whether you can commit to full-time or part-time, your involvement would be a great shepherding.
    2. Have a Family Talk: spend some time with your child to discuss the purpose of the winter school, inquire about their expectations for the week, pray together, read through the regulations and complete the agreements together.

  • 4 Helpers and Serving Ones
