All-in Ministry Seminar

Salt, Light, and the Christian Mission | Rory Shiner
Coming straight out of the theme out of the Sermon on the Mount, we’ll explore the place of good works and Christian behaviour in the Christian mission. How does and doesn’t it relate to the work of the gospel? What does it mean for us personally, the ministries we are part of, and our church’s vision and practice as we engage in local and global mission?

Leadership Electives

Take a deeper dive into key topics related to leadership that will better equip, train and support us in the areas of our character, convictions and competencies. You can attend two out of the four electives across the conference and can pick on the day which one you would like to join.

2. Wisdom in the Public Square:  Reflections on talking ethics on ABC radio – Victor Shaw
3. Seeding Growth: Starting and Scaling Gospel Initiatives in Your Church  – Mike Hall and Co-leader (forthcoming)

Ministry Pathways & Network Meetings (Optional)

1. Women in Leadership
2. Ministry Traineeships (MTS)
3. Serving Cross-Cultures: Global Mission
4. Meet those in your ministry area

One-to-One Ministry Conversations

Half an hour intentional chat with a ministry leader or peer
Unique to Challenge is the opportunity to sit down with someone outside of your circle to discuss ‘what serving the Lord in your life looks like’. The one-to-one ministry conversations are an informal but intentional chat designed for all ages and all stages.  They provide the chance to think about current and future ministry and how you can grow in your service to God.

Prayer at challenge

Prayer for the raising up and growing of leaders is an important part of our responsibility. We want to express our dependence on God for the multiplication of disciples in Tasmania and beyond. During our time we pray for key areas of service and ministry across our state.
