Many of our mission units have a long history in our local communities. We know that our communities are increasingly diverse. This workshop focuses on how we, as individuals and the church, can engage effectively across difference so that everyone has the opportunity to find a place to belong and call home.

We all want to see the faith of our tamariki and families flourish, but we can get a bit lost along the way. An opportunity to reflect on your current engagement with children and families in your parish, dream about what it could look like in the future, and explore the many paths to get there.

When we start out in leadership some of us are allured by platform or influence, but in time we realise that the call is actually to die with Christ so others might live. In this workshop we explore the challenges of godly leadership, and how to persevere in the midst of it.

St Paul challenges us to eagerly desire the spiritual gifts, especially prophecy (1 Cor 14:1). Tuning into God's voice brings incredible life in our mission units, but we can feel a bit unsure how to grow when it's not our norm. This practical workshop will explore a range of ways to introduce, and strengthen, prophetic listening in teams and Mission Units whether they are curious, unsure, or mildly allergic to things "prophetic".

The EfM (Education for Ministry) program teaches us to reflect from our faith perspectives on issues that are important in our daily lives. We have chosen the Treaty Principles as a current issue that we need to reflect on as people of the Gospel.  We recognise that this is a controversial topic. This is how we, as EfM, would wrestle with this issue –

join us as we have fun, and go deep, reflecting theologically about what God is calling us to as followers of Christ and citizens of Aotearoa.
