Tuesday 17th October: 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Senior Pastor, Gas Street Church, Birmingham UK & Co-Founder of ‘The Orchard’
Workshop Stream: Empowering Leadership
Now more than ever we need to identify, encourage, empower and develop women as leaders in the church. And yet many women still experience both personal and systemic “glass ceilings” that have held them back from fully stepping into God’s leadership call on their lives.
This interactive session is for both men and women who would like to explore ways to effectively raise up women into leadership in their context and look more closely at the obstacles that might potentially stand in the way.
Rachel will be drawing from her own journey into leadership as well as sharing the lessons she’s learned through intentionally creating a church culture that empowers and enables women to be released as leaders

Lead Pastor of Flow Church Melbourne
Workshop Stream: Innovative Church Planting
Eating is of tremendous spiritual significance throughout Scripture – from Creation and Fall in Genesis to the marriage supper of the Lamb in Revelation. But in many churches, breaking bread has been reduced to mere symbolism and metaphor. And even where food might be a regular occurrence (e.g. pizza at Friday night youth), we often have a practice of eating together without a conscious theology supporting it.
Come and learn why an intentional practice of breaking bread should be included in our strategies for planting and sustaining churches, and why it is arguably as important as preaching, worship and prayer!

Workshop Stream: Effective Community Engagement
It’s no secret that Australian society is becoming increasingly hostile to the Christian faith. Now is the time for the church in Australia to follow the examples of our persecuted family around the globe. The refining fire of persecution leads to Jesus-dependent disciples who continue to multiply, plant churches, and lovingly engage their neighbours. As the Aussie church learns the stories and prays for our persecuted family, we will see how God is at work to grow his church, and also be inspired by the courageous faith of our brothers and sisters as they shine the light of Christ in the darkest of places.
