2 Days of Leadership Development for Kids, Youth, Young Adult ministry leaders

2 Days of Leadership Development for Kids, Youth, Young Adult ministry leaders

What is Beyond Conference…

The Beyond Conference started in 2017, when a group of Families and NextGen Pastors in Western Australia came together with a heart to grow in how we disciple the next generation. Inspiring and equipping leaders who serve in Kids, Youth, Young Adults and Family Ministries.

We seek to go BEYOND what we’ve done before, BEYOND the Sunday morning programs, and Beyond our own understanding as we look to God for how we reach, raise and empower disciples in the next generations. That our kids and youth may grow deep roots, and a lasting faith.

Beyond 2026

Because it matters.
You’re shaping lives. You’re building faith. You’re pointing a generation to Jesus. And it all matters.
Beyond Conference 2026 is two days to be inspired, equipped, and empowered as you lead and disciple the next generation. Come expectant, leave encouraged, and step back into your world knowing that God is using every moment for something bigger.

Get ready to broaden your vision, to be inspired, and to connect with other like minded people from all over the state as we go beyond, for Him.

Speakers

We're excited to welcome keynote speaker Graham Stanton, alongside Emily Dickenson and a fantastic lineup of experienced pastors, ministry leaders and practitioners including Rob Imberger, Linda Liddelow, Mel Milnes, Amit Khaira, Jeremy Bourdon, Nathan S, Em Nicholls, Michael O'Neil, Mim Hosking and Ruth Warwick.

Across our keynote sessions and electives, our speakers will share biblical wisdom, practical insight and real-life ministry experience as they explore the topics that matter most in next generation ministry. From discovering your calling and communicating God's Word, to prayer, pastoral care, empowering young leaders, building healthy ministry culture, safeguarding, navigating life's big questions, fostering intergenerational relationships and cultivating rhythms of rest, every session is designed to encourage and equip you for the ministry God has entrusted to you.

Whether you're a volunteer, ministry leader, pastor, chaplain, parent or someone with a heart for the next generation, you'll leave refreshed, inspired and better equipped to invest in the lives of children, young people and families.

  • I came last year on my own, this year I was able to have 9 of my team with me. My hope next year is to have more of the Salvo's Kids Team leaders attend. The comments I received from my team who attended with me were all positive.

  • Always such a blessing going to Beyond! I come away encouraged and inspired. A great mix of biblical teaching, range of speakers (loved hearing some strong female voices!) but it all tied in together so beautifully! Loved the Nacho bar and amazing range of selected books!
