Reaching Everyday People is a workshop to help Pastors and their congregations reach the 70% of Australians who don’t have a university education. This group is significantly underrepresented in many evangelical churches. What’s even more concerning is the gap is increasing according to the 2021 National Church Life Survey. While everyday people between the age of 30-39 make up 60% of the general population on average, in our church congregations they only make up 26% of members on average*.

We hope to help churches reverse this trend reaching all the people in our community and helping them to grow to maturity in Christ.

In 2024 we are focusing on discipleship and training of everyday people, both what we do in our ministries and God does through his refining discipline. We will live stream for those not able to make it in person.
