Festival of Mission 2026
24 – 27 November 2026
The Mission Immersion is an intensive, transformational four-day experience in Melbourne for those sensing a deeper call to incarnational mission. Across this immersive journey, participants will learn not only through teaching, but through lived experience, reflection, coaching, prayer, and shared community. This is more than a conference. It is a formation environment, designed to shape emerging leaders who will help reimagine mission in their own contexts.
27 – 28 November 2026
This is a two day gathering for those who dream of seeing lives changed. For those who believe the gospel still transforms communities. For those ready to create and respond to the needs around them with faith and boldness. Through worship, prayer, storytelling, learning and shared experience, we will celebrate what God is doing today and imagine what could be possible tomorrow. At the heart of Mission Manifesto is a conviction: God works through ordinary people. When we follow with courage, create with purpose and serve with confidence, and keep Jesus at the centre lives are transformed.
29 November 2026
The Mission Manifesto will conclude with a special Sunday event bringing us together for worship, celebration, prayer and commissioning. As we gather as one Army, we will celebrate God's faithfulness, seek His guidance for the future and recommit ourselves to His mission.
