Conference Lunch/Dinner Gatherings

We’d love to invite you during the Reach Australia National Conference to our open invite lunch/dinner gatherings. There are descriptions gatherings below to choose from, feel free to attend as many of these gatherings that interest you. Please ensure you REGISTER BELOW for these gatherings before the conference – space is limited, and will be reserved for those who have registered ahead of time. 

Churches in Hard Places: Church in Hard Places Lunch – Monday lunch

For those of us coming to the Monday of the conference this would be a good opportunity for those who are part of churches in low socio-economic areas to gather with others who are in a similar boat to share, pray, and reflect together.

 

Pastor’s Wives: Ministry Wives Lunch – Tuesday lunch

IF you are a woman married to a pastor we would love to invite you to a special lunch on Tuesday. We will gather together over delicious food and think about how the conference theme applies into the particular challenges and situations we might face. 

Whether you work, whether you are a stay at home mum or if you are busy in ministry roles, or a combination of all of the above, this will be a great space for you to reflect and enjoy some time out with other women, as we think about our part in the whole.

Mag Pastors / Music Directors: Loves God / Magnification Leaders Network Lunch – Tuesday lunch

If you’re a involved in leading the Sunday gatherings at church come to share, pray and reflect together with Trevor Hodge and Claire Williams.

Women: Women in Leadership Lunch – Tuesday and Wednesday lunch 

Enjoy lunch with women from all around Australia who are in key roles in their church – whether paid or volunteer. We hope this lunch will bring refreshing conversations and create a space for you to make some new connections and networks with other women in leadership. 

Senior Pastors: Leadership Development Program Lunch – Wednesday lunch

Someone has said this of the program, “The program is the best training I have done since Bible College. Reach Australia’s convictions are worth hearing and contending for. The combo of intensives and coaching have been brilliant in helping me grow as a christian, ministry worker and leader.” If you’re a senior leader and you’d like to know more about the program, join us for lunch to hear all the details and how to register. 

 

Youth & Kids Workers: Youth & Children’s Network Lunch – Wednesday lunch 

Statistically speaking youth ministry is where most churches will see their conversions. This is an essential part of the conversation engine of your church. Come and hear Sandy Galea, who is the founder of Kidswise and has had 30+ years of experience in Children’s Ministry, on “Going The Distance” and all the lessons she has learnt in leading a ministry over 30 years.

Teams: Team Development Program Info session – Wednesday afternoon tea

Anyone Considering Planting: Planters Dinner – Wednesday Dinner

It’s simple: we need more churches in Australia. Whether you are a potential planter, someone who wants to join a planting team or a pastor who is thinking maybe you need to support a church plant, join us for dinner to learn more.

*** Please note that the Women in Leadership lunch will be repeated on both Tuesday and Wednesday, while the Ministry Wives Lunch is only being held on the Tuesday. If you are registering for the Women in Leadership lunch and you are NOT a ministry wife, we suggest that you please register for the Tuesday lunch option. ***
