Who are the speakers?
Matthew Mason is Assistant Director of the Pastors’ Academy and Lecturer in Ethics and Contemporary Studies at London Seminary. He has served as a minister of churches in England and the USA. He has two books due for publication in 2026: John Webster and Prayer (T&T Clark) and Hearing God’s Voice in Ruth (IVP). He is particularly interested in the question of what it means to be human, and more generally in Christian doctrine and ethics as related to aspects of the ministry of God’s Word.
Gerard Hemmings was born in Uxbridge and was raised a Roman Catholic. He was saved at the age of 17. He graduated from university with a degree in Biology and taught the subject for a number of years. Since 1992 he has pastored the church which meets at Amyand Park Chapel, Twickenham. Gerard is married to Mandy and they have four grown-up children and three grandchildren. His interests include cricket, mountain walking and current affairs.

Who is it for?
As the name implies, the MPC is for ministers of EFCC affiliated churches but also includes retired EFCC ministers and EFCC Personal Members. We also sometimes invite guests who we consider would particularly benefit and those studying with a view to future ministry. If you would like to attend but you’re not sure if you qualify, contact the EFCC office.
How much does it cost?
We ask ministers to pay what you can afford between £185 and £235. For personal members, the fee is fixed at £235. If you cannot afford this, please contact Paul Walker at the EFCC office. We don’t want the cost to be the reason you can’t attend. Day rates may be available; please contact the EFCC office if this is of interest.
