Collective Gathering 2026
Friends in ministry, you are invited to join us at our Collective Gathering 2026, the annual connection event for churches of Christ NSW & ACT. Together, we’ll spend two days relishing God’s presence amongst us, enjoying both our unity and diversity, and making new memories together. We can’t wait to see you there!
Know someone who would love to come? We encourage you to invite staff and key volunteers in your churches who will benefit from forming friendships in our network and who are hungry to lead radiant, transformational, discipling communities.
About Collective Gathering
Each year ministers, elders, ministry staff, chaplains, and key leaders of our churches of Christ ministries across NSW & ACT converge for our Collective Gathering at The Tops with the purpose of strengthening our partnership through connection, conversation, celebration, and collaboration.
Each year we also have a celebration dinner on the Thursday evening where guests are encouraged to get dressed up for a lovely meal and fun evening program.
Collective Gathering will begin on Wednesday 11 November at 4-5pm with check-in followed by dinner at 6pm. We’ll conclude our time together with a 1-2pm lunch on Friday 13 November.
