11–13 September 2026

Venue: St Katharine’s Parmoor, near High Wycombe

Today, 1 in 5 people worldwide still do not have access to the Bible in their own language. Explore is an opportunity to see how your skills and experience could play a vital role in giving people access to the Scriptures.

The Explore weekend will help you learn more about the kind of roles and vocational pathways we offer at Wycliffe. And we’ll help you think through whether or not now is the right time for you to explore service with us and what that involves.

We will help you find out about the realities of life serving with Wycliffe – whatever the role and location. And we will introduce you to the journey into longer-term service with us.

Whether you are gifted with linguistics and languages, fascinated by IT, or have a passion for people, you can play an essential role in Bible translation.

Workshops on previous Explore weekends have included:

  • Mission – the biblical basis and continuing need
  • The life of a language programme
  • Linguistics and translation
  • Wider roles and volunteering
  • Personal growth and change
  • Family life and single life in mission
  • The sending church
  • Training: School of Language and Scripture
  • The application process
  • Raising financial and prayer support

Throughout the course there will be time to ask your questions and chat with staff from different fields about their experiences and stories.

Explore will be held at St Katharine’s Parmoor, near High Wycombe. It will start on Friday 11 September at 5.30pm and finish after lunch on Sunday 13 September.
