Freedom25 - National Conference 2025

FREEDOM25 Conference – Standing Firm in a Shifting Culture

How can churches and everyday Christians engage more confidently with society and their political leaders—especially when religious freedom is under fire?

FREEDOM25 is your opportunity to be equipped, inspired, and connected for bold gospel witness in an increasingly hostile legal and cultural landscape. With a sharp focus on next year’s pivotal Victorian election—in a state known for some of Australia’s most extreme anti-faith laws—this conference will help you prepare to make a real impact.

Key sessions include:

• Prof. Patrick Parkinson on religious freedom as both a personal right and social good—how Christians can wisely navigate the clash between ministry and law.

• Dr Alex Deagon on why religious freedom matters for everyone—not just people of faith—and how to make the case clearly to your community and political leaders.
