Those of us in and around Melbourne celebrate Resurrection Morning (Easter Sunday) by enjoying a leisurely barbecue brunch (BYO food and drink) in the picnic area at the beautiful Valley Conservation Reserve.
Open Baptists is a new movement of Baptist churches in Australia and New Zealand, open to the diversity of people God gathers into our churches and open to the diversity of ways that God calls us to respond in our local contexts. Our 2026 conference will be a live-in event and include a dedication service for the first group of pastors accredited by the Open Baptists Committee for Ministry. Our conference is based on the Open Space Technology method where conference participants bring their own questions and ideas for group discussion, as we explore the question:
HOW DO WE, AS OPEN BAPTISTS, EXPLORE, AND COURAGEOUSLY AND GENEROUSLY SHARE LIFE LIVED TO THE FULL?
Our annual weekend away to enjoy one another’s company over food, prayer, and relaxed activities. Our Sunday worship service will be held at the camp on this weekend.
