Participants will be asked to nominate one workshop for each of the programmed sessions.

The workshop topics have been chosen to cover a broad range of areas and facilitators will draw from their wealth of knowledge and experience to journey with you in your learning.

Facilitators will engage you in an active process of considering concepts and ideas and how they apply to practical situations of mission, ministry and leadership.

Workshop specifics have not yet been fully finalised. Following is a DRAFT of topic areas to provide you with some insight to what’s on offer.

Details and descriptions for each workshop will be provided in the new year.

Please do register for the conference now and you can nominate your workshop at a later date.
