Faith in Jesus has to be real.
It has to work on Monday.
Connected. Integrated. Making sense.
Actually doing something.

Even though ENGAGE is only 2 going on 3 some very clear trends are evident. All of these came about as a result of getting your feedback, thankyou for your honesty! And thankyou for the time you spent filling out those forms. We discovered that a lot of you are in Teaching, IT and in the finance industry. Again not to the exclusion of other industries just those were the more dominant That you really enjoyed the talks and singing together and also appreciated “the vibe” of engage. We all liked the late starts and maybe more so the first time the “relaxed atmosphere” We discovered that while a lot of you had years at church and as Christians, you found the workplace “difficult, depressing disconnected” and “boring” in some cases.
We will always look at the bible and hear from speakers that will help us do that in the most appropriate way. // We will aim to be relaxed, to give workers time to decompress from busy lives and focus on being Christian workers // The “vibe” of things will always be important. // We will be constantly changing and tweaking things to reflect and value the people that come to ENGAGE. Once again your feedback is very important in this regard. // We are a work in progress, your patience and your support will help us in this. // We are a conference for Christian workers, we are not trying to be a big church.
Registration for engage includes morning tea and lunch on Saturday and morning tea on Sunday plus temporary catering tents, tables and amenities hire. There's extra technical equipment we bring in to ensure engage is an inspiring experience for everyone and a few extras to help us push the boundaries of convention ministry.
We also take seriously our stewardship of the convention site which involves upgrading the facilities onsite for engage and other future conventions. This will help ensure that powerful Bible teaching conventions will continue for many years to come.
You indicated and we believe that engage represents value for young workers, but we always welcome your feedback.
