One National Leaders’ Conference

Promocode for youth leaders to attend! - YOUTH22

17-19 November
Wellington


We think, if there is one conference to go to this year, this is the one:  We are excited to have over 200 people registered already, and we expect the numbers to keep growing as we get to registration deadline.  

If you haven’t registered yet, get in quick because the registrations do close on the 23 October. And for youth leaders we have a promo code which lets youth leaders attend for $99 rather than $129. Just type in the promo code YOUTH22

This three-day conference is for all leaders: ministers; elders; chaplains; children, youth and families; and community ministry leaders. We believe the One Conference will be an amazing opportunity for all leaders in our Church to gather, connect, worship, upskill and be inspired. 

The One Conference website is filled with all the conference information. We are stoked that the keynote speakers include Richard Black, Fele Nokise, Amy Page-Whiting and Katerina Solomona. These speakers will take us through Ephesians Chapter 4 as we reflect on Te Whakakotahitanga – Gathering as one people under Christ. And with 40 workshops on offer, we believe there will be something for everyone.

Breakout sessions:
So many great topics for youth leaders! 

At the One Conference there are over 40 breakout session options for you and your team to choose from. Matt and I are directing this conference, so we have worked hard to make as much of the conference relevant for youth leaders as possible including the breakout sessions. Although not all of them specifically mention youth ministry most will be extremely helpful to you. 

Here are just a few examples: 

Prioritising faith with Amy Page-Whiting

We all struggle to wake young people up to the importance and centrality of the gospel in their lives. In this workshop youth pastor turned senior pastor Amy Page-Whiting shares brilliant insights on a process to help the gospel to move to the centre of people's lives. 
Mind Health and the Christian Leader: being more than a “somewhat” healthy church with Richard Black

With mental health challenges skyrocketing in young people this breakout session is a must to help you establish some key mental health practices in your youth ministry and church. 
Creating a Culture of Invitation with Matt Gould

Youth ministries grow when young people catch the bug of inviting their friends to join in. This fun, interactive session will equip you and your youth with some practical and easy tips to invite people along. 

Supporting Families in Growing Faith with Liz Eichler 

Research keeps highlighting how important faith at home is to the spiritual vitality of our young people, this session will help sell the vision to parents and share practical skills. 

Youth ministry specific breakout sessions 

We do also have some specific breakout sessions relating to youth ministry such as Exploring youth culture, Tackling pornography,  and The bare essentials of youth ministry.

Getting your whole team on board 

What is really exciting to us about the One Conference is the chance for whole leadership teams to get on the same page on an important issue. Take mental health for example wouldn’t it be fantastic for your minister, elders and other key staff to come away from this conference with a unified plan to support the mental health challenges that many of our people are facing. 

See you there!
