The National Conference for Evangelisation brings together multiple historical initiatives supporting the Church’s evangelising mission. In doing so it offers a diverse range of content via a dynamic program schedule. Managing time zones, personal and professional availability, individuals and communities can create a dynamic experience consisting of national formation and local dialogue.
Key Elements
The Evangelisation Conference is presented in two key formats:
PLENARY SESSIONS: Webcast live online, plenary sessions are for all participants and provide formation, experience, and inspiration. Plenary sessions will include speakers, panels, music, prayer and testimonies.
KEYNOTE SESSIONS: Following each national plenary session, participants are invited to attend one of five live Keynote speaker sessions. Running for 60 minutes, sessions explore approaches to supporting the Church’s missions to evangelise through ‘Ministries within our faith communities’, or ‘Mission in the world’.
