MEET THE SPEAKER — TOM RICHARDS

Tom Richards is joining us for CONNECTED 2026, speaking at both our Youth Night and main conference.
Across his three talks, Tom will explore some very different parts of our relationships — from dealing with hurt within the church, to thinking biblically about singleness and dating.

YOUTH NIGHT

CONNECTED: Churches Can Hurt
Church is meant to be a place of belonging, love and encouragement — but Christians and churches can let us down. How do we respond when the people who are meant to point us to Christ actually hurt us?

MAIN CONFERENCE

CONNECTED: Single for Christ
Singleness isn’t a waiting room for the Christian life. What does it look like to embrace singleness with purpose, contentment and wholehearted devotion to Christ?

CONNECTED: Dating in Christ
How should Christians approach dating? Tom will explore how following Christ shapes who we date, why we date, and how we pursue relationships with wisdom and faithfulness.

Come and hear Tom, along with our other speakers, as we explore what it means to live out God’s design for relationships.

1–3 October 2026
Riverbank Christian Church, Riverside
