2023 NATIONAL CONFERENCE:
“For the testimony of Jesus Christ”
We met in Melbourne over Sep 7-8th.
We welcomed in three new member Churches, and enjoyed learning from Michael Foster.
Links to the videos of the sessions, can be found below.
Thank you to Lygon St Christian Chapel, in Melbourne, for hosting this year’s conference with Michael Foster.
Keynote Sessions:
Michael Foster applied Christ’s ministry to our ministry, and His work to our work as pastors. What is the Hypostatic Union, the States of Christ, or His three offices? What about His manliness, and His atonement? And how should these inform our preaching and shepherding? Find out in the videos below.
Breakout Sessions:
Michael Foster: “Leadership Masterclass - keeping your leaders on mission together”.
Craig Ireland: “Spurgeonic Ministry - How conservative, Evangelical Churches can learn from Spurgeon, by growing.”
Tom Foord (FECA President): “The Gospel is the Power of God - Why we must preach it every sermon.”
A Christology Conference by pastors, for pastors.
“For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.”
- Paul the Apostle (1 Cor 2:2).
The Reformer, John Calvin, writes of this verse:
“Here we have a beautiful passage, from which we learn what faithful ministers ought to teach; that we must be learning our whole life; and in comparison with which everything else must be “counted as dung’."
