Your Invitation

When I visited New Zealand in 2025, I was awestruck by the majesty of the mountains that surrounded us. It felt like God was showing off His glory through creation! As I gazed at those peaks, I began to reflect on our faith journey and how much it resembles climbing a mountain. Every step takes courage and perseverance, but it’s on that journey upward that transformation happens. 

That’s why the theme for Ignite Conference 2026 is  ASCEND. 

This year, God is calling us higher - to ascend the mountain of the Lord. It’s a divine invitation to rise above the familiar, to expand spiritual territory, to tear down limitations, and to step boldly into the great adventure He has prepared. ASCEND is about moving from comfort into calling, from the valley to the peak, from the known into the glory-filled unknown. It’s a season of open heavens, renewed vision, and limitless faith, a time to enlarge your tent, to move mountains, and to walk in alignment with heaven’s purpose. 

“In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains;  it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.  Many peoples will come and say,  ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord…’” 

Isaiah 2:2-3 (NIV) 

Hosted in July in Broken Bay (NSW) and September in Brisbane, Ignite Conference 2026 will be a powerful encounter with God and His Church, an experience of ascending together. Over four days, encounter the young Church alive in vibrant music, speakers, dance, media, sacraments, workshops, and worship. 

Come and be part of this movement. Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to breathe new life into our Church, our nations, and our hearts — so that together, we may ASCEND in faith, in unity, and in the mission God has set before us.
