1,000+ church leaders will be gathering from 13-16 May 2024 at EV Church to encourage each other to grow healthy, evangelistic, multiplying churches that courageously seek to reach the lost across Australia.

We strongly recommend you bring key church leaders, paid and unpaid. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get key people in your church fuelled for growth and change. Invite your admin team, communications staff, music directors, parish council members, elders and all church members in key ministry roles.

We have churches of different sizes at the conference, from new churches launching with 30 people to large churches with over 2,500 people regularly gathering, including many churches in regional and remote parts of Australia.

Foundations on the Monday. You’ll get principles and key convictions that drive the network. If you can’t come on Monday, come on Wednesday – but you should try and come for the whole thing.

Try the Reach Australia Framework or Mission ebooks. Last year’s conference content is on Youtube and on the Reach Australia podcast. If you’re coming to Foundations/Multiply you’ll have some fun pre-reading.

We have a program for kids from 0-11 led by volunteers from EV Church for every session apart from in the evenings. You’ll need to care for your kids during meal breaks. Kids come to the conference for free. We want both spouses to be able to engage in the conference material.

There will be an option to register your kids closer to the conference. Keep your log in details handy when you purchase your tickets to register your kids at a later date. You’ll get an email.

Post in the National Conference Facebook event.

Yes. Right now we’re only selling tickets to the full conference. We’ll send an email out when bookings become available for single and part-time attendees.

Nope! Churches and pastors in our network have different opinions about organisational models. Some churches in the network have structured around outcomes and others use a congregational model. We encourage churches to be intentional. Every church needs to reflect on the effectiveness of the model and structures they are using, and we want to encourage churches to make change if it’s helpful.  We’re keen to help facilitate robust conversations about what is most helpful for churches in their contexts – small and large churches, regional churches and city churches.

In 2023, 40% of National Conference attendees were women. Each year at conference we have networking lunches for women in leadership (both paid and unpaid roles) and for wives of pastors. These are a great opportunity to connect with women in similar roles and contexts from different churches and locations across Australia and to encourage each other in gospel ministry.

Within Reach Australia we have a growing Women in Leadership Network for women in key leadership roles in churches across Australia. It’s a network for current and emerging leaders, in both paid and high level volunteer roles – women in ministry, women in ministry support and governance roles. You might want to sign up for our quarterly updates to hear more about the connection, coaching and leadership development opportunities we’re building.

1 December 2023.

It’s a bit tight – car pooling is appreciated.
