Pastors gathering 2022

3RD – 4TH AUGUST

Adelaide Hills Convention Centre

Register
Pastors Gathering is a 2-day retreat designed to help you hit reset. There’ll be plenty of time to share stories, feel encouraged and inspired, and catch up with other pastors who are in the same boat.
 
Tucked away in the Mount Lofty ranges and a mere 800metres to Hahndorf’s main street, Adelaide Hills Convention Centre provides the perfect backdrop for you to get away from it all.
 
If you’ve joined us in previous years you’ll know our program includes a smorgasbord of afternoon activities to choose from (think hiking, guided tours, coffee, massages), as well as stories and encouragement from those in our Baptist movement.
 
We’ve also asked our friends from the Baptist Union of Victoria, Bill Brown and Kim Smith to speak to us.
 
We are looking forward to being able to share together, see each other face to face, encourage one another, and be refreshed!
