Friday, 20 February – Saturday, 21 February 2026

The STRONGER CHURCH Conference 2026 is for the purpose of building up and strengthening God’s Church here in New Zealand. If you missed last year’s conference, click HERE to get more info on how the SC Conference came about.

Our theme for this year’s conference is EMPOWERED.

We want to offer an opportunity for solid biblical teaching, encouragement, and equipping for Christ followers and churches to live out God’s mission in New Zealand and beyond. At the same time, we aim to foster unity among the local churches in our community. All topics and teaching are non-denominational and firmly grounded in Scripture.

The conference will take place on the evening of Friday 20 February and all day Saturday 21 February, 2022 at the Papamoa College Theatre – 151 Doncaster Drive, Papamoa.

The conference cost is $20 per person. Students 18 and under attend for free.

On Saturday, we’ll provide free morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea, along with complimentary tea and coffee. A coffee truck will also be on-site, offering drinks for purchase.

Workshop focus – Stronger Homes, Stronger Leaders, Stronger Identity, and a Stronger Foundation.

WORSHIP at the STRONGER CHURCH Conference

We’re so excited for the impactful times of worship we’ll have led by Current Church at the conference this year. We will have opportunities to engage in worship at each of our main sessions alongside powerful Bible teaching. As we grow deeper in our understanding of God and His Word, let’s lift His name even higher. Come ready to lift your voice, encounter Jesus, and be EMPOWERED through moments of authentic, Spirit-led worship.
