Believe in Barrow began life in 2014, with the vision cast of a town-wide celebration of the Christian faith. Churches across Barrow came together to plan and prepare, with the first Believe in Barrow then taking place in May 2015. 

 

This five-day event featured the Archbishop of York, Roger Simpson, and various other speakers, as well as musicians and entertainers such as the TX Vikings Norwegian Strong-men team. 

​

Believe in Barrow arose out of the conviction that the Christian message is good news - not simply good advice. And so after the success of Believe in Barrow 2015, it made sense to continue and develop this initiative. After all, good news is worth sharing.

​

In 2016 a team of representatives from different churches began meeting to plan another town-wide event, Believe in Barrow 2017. This is taking place from 8-17th September 2017, and will be called Real Lives. Local events will happen across Barrow, culminating in a special weekend at The Forum, Barrow.
