REGIONAL SUMMITS
We're a movement of churches (and the camps and ministries that support them) joined together by our unity in Jesus Christ.
Our 2024 Regional Summits will bring together leaders from churches, campsites and ministries across regions.
We'll open the Word of God together, we'll hear local stories of how other ministries in your region are engaging in mission, and we'll have the chance to learn together.
In 2024 these events will have a special focus on growing leaders who serve like Christ.
Come along to connect wth leaders from like-minded churches who are growing leaders, learn from each other, share ideas and grow understanding of what it means to serve for the gospel.
The workshops will cover a variety of topics, including:
Biblical Leadership
Training volunteers and leaders
Discipling young people
Encouraging prayer in our churches
Intergenerational Ministry
How churches and camps can partner for gospel mission
Eldership development
"Therefore, if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ...
...if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind".
— Philippians 2:1-2

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Nelson
Daryl Bay serves with Hope Community Church. He'll be taking us into Philippians 2 on rejoicing in grace as we serve Jesus together in our local churches. Talking with him about hunting and fishing will bring him joy too!
Far North
Andrew Clemow (Clark Road Chapel) will be taking us through Philippians 2:
Jesus shows us what it means to serve. Through repetitive acts of love, humility, and service, Jesus encourages us to follow his lead and serve in the same way.
Jesus both led by serving and loved by serving. Jesus lived a life of humble service. But service to the gospel. Service to the purposes and plans of God. Servant leadership.
For us to serve like Christ is to serve not just in the way he did, but for the same purpose he did. Servant leaders, serving for the gospel.
