WHO IS FORM CONFERENCE FOR?
Form Conference is all about church planting and evangelism!
It is a place for church planters and church leaders (and their families!) to gather to share stories and be inspired to pursue our Gen1K goal in their unique context.
Form Conference is for anyone wanting to participate in our GEN1K Vision!
If you’re exploring or preparing to plant a church
If you’ve planted a church in the past five years
If you’re part of the Simple Church Network
If you’re an apostolic or multiplying leader with a vision for church planting
If you’re the spouse or children of any of the above
In 2025, Form Conference will have an emphasis on hearing the stories and experiences of people who have recently planted churches. You will hear about what they’ve learnt, the challenges they’ve overcome, and how they’ve seen God move.
We see a movement of transforming, healthy communities
We see a moment raising and empowering Kingdom-focused leadership
We see an extraordinary mission shaped of God across our churches and affiliated groups
We see a movement impacting our society, culture and world
