4D Leadership Conference is our annual gathering where everyone from across our movement is invited.

We have keynote sessions, GodX talks and electives from practitioners and thought leaders. This year we will hear from Ed Vaughn, Lead Consultant with City to City, Sydney. We also have Melinda Cousins sharing with us.

We hope you can be inspired, encouraged and challenged as you disciple others in your local context.

Keynote Speakers

Ed Vaughn

Ed has worked in ministry for over 35 years, in a variety of ministry contexts, but with a consistent passion for raising up the next generation of leaders for the Australian church and engaging in new and pioneering forms of ministry.

He is involved in coaching and pastoral supervision of church planters and emerging leaders. He has previously been an Anglican minister in Sydney and in Dublin in the Republic of Ireland. Ed has also been involved with the Arrow Leadership Programme and was on staff with City to City Australia.

Ed is married to Jane and lives in the inner south-west of Sydney.

Melinda Cousins

Melinda is a pastor and teacher who currently serves as our Director of Ministries. She has been an ordained Baptist minister since 2002, serving as a local church pastor and in wider ministry contexts

As a biblical scholar, Melinda has taught the Bible at several theological colleges in Adelaide, as well as in the majority world. She did her PhD on the the Psalms of Ascents (Psalms 120-134), and considered ideas of performance, imagination, emotion, and embodiment.

Melinda’s two great passions are God’s Word and God’s world. She loves exploring how the biblical narrative shapes our imagination for life and community and how people worship and follow Jesus within their own cultural contexts.

Morning tea and lunch included. Full cost (after 17/04): $70. Group discount available for groups of 5+.
