In a time when deep discipleship, strong networks, and ongoing learning are more important than ever, the RISE Collective invites you, along with other emerging Churches of Christ leaders from across Australia to gather, connect, and grow together. This is a space for genuine relationships, shared encouragement, and renewed vision for ministry.
RISE SUMMIT 2026 is not a conference.
It is a formative environment where leaders are refined, invested in, and strengthened in their calling. With keynote sessions from Mark Sayers and a range of practical electives, participants will be equipped and inspired for faithful leadership in God’s Church today and into the future.
31 AUGUST - 2 SEPTEMBER 2026
