Foundation with Bishop Claion Grandison (in person event)

About the Speaker

Claion Grandison was elected in March 2022 to lead the New Testament Church of God and has since taken the denomination on a journey of change and transformation.

At the heart of NTCG’s new direction is its vision; to be a Relevant, Relational Church, Reimagining God at work in our community and nation.

Bishop Claion’s passion for raising up leaders led to him starting the Mentor Leadership Programme in 2011 which has resulted in a number of its graduates becoming pastors. Today, through a number of initiatives, Bishop and NTCG continue to focus on emerging leaders, ensuring that its next cohort of ministers will be proficient and committed, delivering theologically sound leadership.

Since coming into post, he has appointed a number of younger men and women as local pastors, all of whom are doing very well in their churches.

Bishop is a graduate of Spurgeon’s College and guest lecturer in Evangelism within Black Pentecostal spaces. He is married to Sonia and they have two adult children

PLEASE NOTE: Foundation events are usually held at UCB's Operations Centre but in 2025, the events will be held instead at Tretham Parish Church, Park Drive, Trentham, Stoke on Trent, ST4 8AB

What is Foundation?

Leadership can be incredibly rewarding, but as most leaders know, it can also come with many challenges. If you're a leader in business, church, or your local community, UCB’s Foundation events are for you. They're designed to be a ‘spiritual oasis’, a time spent in the presence of God away from the busyness.

In the book of Nehemiah (the cupbearer to the king). Nehemiah was moved by the devastation of Jerusalem's ruined walls, and he felt called to rebuild them. Only with God's help was he able to devise a strategy that eventually saw the Lord's glory restored to this ancient city.

As leaders, we will all experience times when our walls feel broken or crumbling, and we need God to bring fresh revelation and rest to our spirits. Come and join us for prophetic worship, inspirational teaching, prayer, and networking - a place where you can rebuild, renew, and restore.
