You rock up to church. Same seat, same songs, same service. Can this ordinary church gathering really be God's way of working in the world? How can this mundane and constantly failing social structure be God’s way of saving and growing His people? Whether you think church is basic, beautiful or broken, Mid-Year Conference 2024 is for you!
This year, we will be exploring Church: Gathered to God, Gathered Together. While we can experience Church as ordinary, the bible speaks of the Church as God’s extraordinary way of growing His people in faith and in knowing Jesus. Across thousands of years, God has chosen this way to reach the world, and He continues to do that now! Join us as we learn the significance of gathering together as a Church under God.
Mid-Year Conference is where 100+ students from the University of Queensland Evangelical Students, come together for 5 days of Bible talks, study groups, and friendship. It is the biggest event on the ES calendar! Register today through the below link.
Everyone's welcome at MYC! And the time away at MYC is a great chance to check out Jesus and Christianity further.
At MYC there's a strand of studies during the week for those who want to explore Christianity. There's plenty of time to ask questions, and to dig as deep as you want to.
"Exploring Christianity at MYC was exactly what I needed coming from a non-religious background. We started with the evidence of Jesus from outside the Bible before going deeper and this was incredibly helpful. On top of that I made friends I will have for a lifetime and couldn’t be more thankful!"
- Sophie
There is a question on the registration form below to opt in to the Exploring Christianity strand.
- Check back soon. We'll post more information here regarding seminars and electives as they get finalised.
