We believe there is great value in networking; connecting with others, sharing stories, tried and tested tips, plus praying for each other as we serve in ministry with children. In 2026 we have launched regional networks that will meet once a term across our state, including online options!

Because it Matters! Ministry with young generations matters - You’re shaping lives. You’re building faith. You’re pointing a generation to Jesus. And it all matters.
Conference Speakers
Our keynote speaker this year is Graham Stanton, who will present key findings and implications from"Your Story", a ground-breaking research project capturing the stories of more than 400 Australian young people. Exploring who and what has shaped their faith across childhood, adolescence, and into their young adult years. This research honours young people’s spiritual experiences and challenges all who work with young people to listen more deeply as we walk alongside them in their faith journeys. It helps us to hear what matters and understand how we can respond.
Additional local speakers will present on elective and whole group topics such as; Empowering Youth Matters, Prayer Matters, Safety Matters, Spiritual Health Matters, Multiplication Matters and more!
