You are invited to a community transformation event with church and community leaders from across Australia.
Following the success of last year’s gatherings, we’re excited to bring back Together for Communities!
These events unite individuals, churches, and community leaders to inspire and equip one another in living out the way of Jesus in their communities.
We are privileged to have several distinguished keynote speakers and supporters of COACH Network join us, each a leader in their field and instrumental in community transformation across churches and organisations working in a variety of sectors.
Along with keynote speaker sessions, each event includes live panel and interactive workshops with leading practitioners.
Together For Communities promises to be a space of inspiration, connection, and collaboration.
