MCNZ Conference – “God’s Aroha – A Call to Sacred Transformation”

The theme for this year’s Conference is God’s Aroha – A Call to Sacred Transformation. Together, we will explore how divine love reshapes our lives, our relationships, and the mission of the Church. Rooted in our bicultural covenant, this theme calls us to live out transformation through kaitiakitanga, justice, and communal renewal.

Conference this year is primarily Online.

We have important work ahead. Synods and Hui Poari have already received several key papers, including:

• The Responsible Investment Policy (updated)
• The Connexional Property Strategy Progress Report
• A Discussion Paper on the Purpose and Efficacy of Our Statistical Reporting
• Climate Induced Displacement Policy

Connexional committees are also preparing their annual reports, reflecting the breadth and depth of work happening across Te Hāhi.

Registration

Registrations open on Monday 4 August 2025. The cost is $170 (GST inclusive). Please note that there is no early bird rate this year.

As We Prepare

We invite your prayers, your energy, and your ideas. If you have suggestions for how we can strengthen engagement or deepen reflection during Conference, we’d love to hear from you.

This is more than a meeting. It is a moment of movement. May we come ready to be reshaped by aroha and sent forth as a Church transformed to transform.
