J.I Packer once exhorted his students, “Do not neglect the revival dimension of your ministry.” At our 2026 Network Conference, we will be exploring the theme of ‘Renewal.’ What does it look like when God causes the normal ministry rhythms of gospel-faithfulness, to surge forward with divine power? What does renewal look like in Scripture, in history, in society, in the church, in the home, and in us personally, when God’s people turn to him and he infuses them with spiritual life? We’d love to have you join us next year on the Gold Coast — February 12th-14th — as we ask God to renew, reform, and revive His Church in our part of the world.

We will be joined by church planters, pastors, leaders, and believers from across the Australia and New Zealand.
