Theme
Transformed
As we celebrate 25 years as a church family, we have the opportunity to reflect on how God has been active in transforming our lives. It's at the heart of vision that we would see transformed people, churches and communities and so it's at the heart of our Conference as we celebrate the past and look forward to the future. Transformed lives as people encounter Jesus. Transformed churches as we prepare to multiply churches across the nation. Transformed communities as we share the life and love of Christ with our neighbours. It all comes back to the God who brings transformation, who overflows us with grace and holiness. Rev. Brett Jones, National Superintendent
