The 2016 Ministers' and Leaders' Retreat will be held in Brisbane from the 11th - 13th June 2016 at the Mercure Brisbane. Sessions will commence each day at 9:00am and finish at 5:00pm.
Brother Roger Buckland will be our guest speaker. He is the Pacific Region Missions Director, and a greatly anointed preacher and Bible teacher. The Executive Board has decided to invite all ministers and pastor-endorsed leaders to attend the three day retreat (Saturday through to Monday).
Registration is $80.00 per day per person (includes GST) and must be paid in advance. Registrations close at midnight sharp on Friday 27th of May. Please note that there is an additional $1.40 fee per transaction.
The registration includes lunch, morning and afternoon tea and use of facilities. Use of the Mercure facility is conditional on each person who attends paying a registration fee as well as advance notice of attendance (by Friday 27th May) for catering purposes.
Brother Buckland will be preaching twice each day along with a number of sessions by other preachers and teachers. There will also be an emphasis on break-out sessions where attendees can choose topics of interest and necessity.
Help desks will be available for those seeking special advice and help on any matters of compliance associated with state laws, registration for working with children, the Australian Charities and Not for Profit Commission and the Australian Taxation Office. This will include, among other topics, help with income tax exemption, Business Activity Statements, fringe benefits and general church accounting. There will also be a help desk for Office 365. We encourage pastors who are struggling with some of these administrative tasks to invite their church leaders to be in attendance so they can be better equipped with helping in the local church.
