COFFS HARBOUR | NSW

Join us in Coffs Harbour, NSW, for our Pastors and Leaders Gathering, to be held at the Wesleyan Methodist Church, 76A Bray Street, Coffs Harbour, 24th to 27th February 2026.

This year’s theme, ON MISSION: SENT, invites us to rediscover the missional heart of God — to see that mission isn’t just something we do, but who we are.

Throughout the week, our main sessions will explore the theological foundations of being sent by the Father, modelled by the Son, and empowered by the Spirit. Our seminars will then build on that foundation, offering practical tools and inspiration to help you apply the A2A (Anyone to Anywhere) vision in your local context.

Each session is designed to help you take the next step — moving from understanding to action, from gathering to going.

Further details, including accommodation options such as nearby motels and caravan parks, will be shared soon. The schedule is below and you can register here.
