Convictions for Growth and Change in Your Church

If you've never been to Foundations before, start here. Get key convictions that underpin how our network thinks about church, growth and change. We cover outcome thinking, healthy church teams and the need for clarity and responsibility. Wrestle with how church leaders need to be regularly challenging the status quo as they seek to make mature disciples in ever-increasing number.

• Why passion for numerical growth is dangerous but necessary, and how it brings focus, courage and decision-making power
• Church as a pathway and ecosystem
• A rethink of the roles and responsibilities of church leaders
• Five key ministry principles that lie behind pretty much everything at the conference

We’ll hear from Paul Harrington (Trinity Network Adelaide - a network of 13 churches) and Wade Burnett (Planter, Multisite Solutions consultant and Executive Pastor of Maclean Bible Church - a network of five churches with over 10,000 people) on their experiences building church networks.
