Serve like Christ - serving for the gospel

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.

A note on cost...

Our heart is to see leaders from a variety of CCCNZ/OBH churches connecting at their local Regional Summit.

To help make that possible we keep ticket prices as low as we can at just $45 per person, and a cap per church of $315 (meaning you can come as a team of 7+ people for just $315). We'll send an invoice to your church admin team to facilitate a group payment for your church group.

The actual cost to run Regional Summits is around $85 per person. Would you consider joining us in making Regional Summits as affordable as possible for everyone? If you'd like to give a koha towards this there are two ways:
