Inspire Conference 2020

If you have a heart for mission – this event is for YOU. The gospel is more than just good news, it is truly uncontainable. If you’re considering, exploring or practicing church planting, revitalisation, or another creative endeavour to share the gospel, Inspire is the perfect place to gain encouragement, discernment, and to rub shoulders with like-minded thinkers.

This year at Inspire, we have gathered a line up of passionate, experienced, creative speakers to encourage and spur you on in your own mission context. We are excited for them to share with you over 48 hours of sessions, electives and coffee, at West Beach Community Church.

Choose to attend full-time, or come along for one day if that’s what suits your schedule.
