REGIONAL SUMMITS
We're a movement of churches (and the camps and ministries that support them) joined together by our unity in Jesus Christ.
Regional Summits bring together CCCNZ/Open Brethren Heritage leaders from churches, campsites and ministries across regions.
We'll open the Word of God together, we'll hear local stories of how other ministries in your region are engaging in mission, and we'll have the chance to learn together.
In 2025 these events will have a special focus on developing younger leaders who ground their ministry in the message of the cross.
Summits are places to connect, grow and learn together with leaders from like-minded churches.
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
1 Corinthians 1:18
