Next Phase is a conference for anyone 50ish and over. This is a broad group of people who will go through many ‘next phases’ (kids growing up and leaving home, grandkids arriving, work changes, ageing etc) and we want to encourage you to keep going strong in your faith as some of the other things in life change. Not only do we get top bible teachers to open God’s word with us, we get to hear about some of the exciting things happening around our own patch and spend lots of time fellowshipping with each other.
In 2025 we were joined by Mike Raiter, Director of the Centre for Biblical Preaching in Melbourne. Mike took us through Hebrews 11 and 12 and helped us think through what it means to ‘live in the light of Christ’s return’.
We were also joined by Dave Jensen, pastor and Assistant Director of Evangelism New Churches in Sydney. Dave presented two seminars on the why and how of evangelism.
