Mission2Sydney Think Tank
In seven months from now, over 400 delegates from 102 churches, companies, church plants and groups will come together to pray—seeking God’s leading.
In 2018, participants of the first Biennial Greater Sydney Conference “Mission2Sydney Think Tank,” came up with five strategies to guide our Conference—which were then approved by vote at the Constituency Session a few months later. The five strategies were:
- Raising the Spiritual Temperature
- Member Empowerment
- Community Engagement
- Growing Together
- Media Engagement
At the “2020 Think Tank,” to be held at the Grand Royale Function Centre in Granville from 14-15 February 2020, the delegates will be focusing on the following strategies:
- Community Engagement
- Growing Together
Keynote Speakers
The Greater Sydney Conference has chosen three keynote speakers who will inspire, challenge and encourage us to think with fresh perspectives. Dr. Ruth Powell from NCLS Research will focus on Australian Churches and Community Engagement: Trends Over Time. Pastor Alina Van Rensberg from the South Queensland Conference will teach and share her passion for how we can invest in each other and Grow Together. Also, Mr Adam Johnston from Natural Church Development, Australia, will draw on research—explaining how our Conference looks in terms of growth and engagement.
Delegates
Based on the size of your church membership, the Conference is inviting you to select a specific number of delegates (church members), to attend the “2020 Think Tank.” Churches with a membership under 50 are invited to send two (2) delegates, plus your pastor. Churches with a membership of 50 plus, are invited to send five (5) delegates, plus your pastor. It’s a requirement that at least one (1) of your delegates be under 30 years of age.
We’re looking for passionate church members with the following attributes:
- Visionary, Strategic Thinkers, Thought Leaders
- Youth, Church Planters, Senior Elders
- Evangelism Coordinators, Personal Ministries Leaders
All delegates will be provided meals on Sabbath (breakfast and lunch). Meals will not be provided on Sunday.
Much was achieved in 2018 that guides today. What can we expect in 2020?
