Mission of God Conference 2025

How does the Bible relate to politics? What is a Christian vision of politics? These are crucial questions for the church to answer. If our nation is to recover its Christian roots and a vision for a Christian society then we need some clear thinking about how Christianity and the Bible relates to politics. Perhaps one reason for the moral state of the nation today is the failure of the church to speak clearly into moral issues where they are political?

Join us as we bring together a collection of internationally recognised speakers on this important topic with opportunity for Q&A and a panel discussion.
