LENTEN CHILDREN & FAMILIES MINISTRY

1. Amplify Conference (On-line & Regional Hubs) Saturday March 4

AMPLIFY exists to inspire, equip and resource leaders who serve in ministry with children & families, youth and in schools. The conference had been running in Brisbane since 2005 and in 2021 AMPLIFY decentralised to a Hub-based format providing easier access to high quality training and expertise. In addition to fantastic Keynote speakers - including 2023 include Dr Ruth Powell (NCLS Research), Dr Dave Benson (London Institute for Contemporary Christianity) and Dr Kara Powell (Fuller Youth Institute) – there is a huge range of amazing electives to choose from.
