20-23 JULY

NATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE CANBERRA

In 2026 our national conference is heading to the national capital! In a move that reflects FIEC’s growing national footprint, we will gather in the National Convention Centre in Canberra in July in a new season for our annual conference. And what better way to mark a new season than to focus on one of the standards of evangelicalism - the mission of God!

During our time together we will sit under God’s Word, hear about new church plants, spend time praying together for our nation, communities, churches, families and ourselves, and enjoy chatting over meals with old friends and new ones.

The FIEC 2026 National Conference is for anyone from FIEC churches - pastors, spouses, elders, leaders, staff, volunteers - everyone will benefit from joining us in Canberra in July.

THEME

Church and the Mission of God

For the evangelical church, the Great Commission to go into all the world to make disciples is fundamental to its mission. It’s why we preach the Gospel every week. It’s why we plant churches. It’s why we do evangelism. It’s why we do discipleship. At our 2026 National Conference we want to encourage one another in the task of taking the Good News of Jesus to a world that does not yet know the love of our Saviour, to see them won to Christ and presented mature in the faith.

ACCOMMODATION

Every delegate is responsible for securing their own accommodation. Fortunately, there is a wide choice of hotels around the National Convention Centre. Or you may prefer to find something for your church team on AirBNB. And if you are fortunate enough to have a relative living in Canberra, your accommodation could cost you very little (maybe a box of chocolates to say thank you!).

Three major hotels are offering deals for FIEC delegates:

 

CHILDREN

We are not intending to have a children’s program at the 2026 National Conference. There will be a convenient parents’ room available for nursing babies, who you do not have to register to attend.
