Diocesan Conference 2024
Each year, a number of major events are planned in the Diocese. These are for a variety of groups, ages and interests.
Clergy Conference
The clergy of our Diocese gather each year in September for fellowship, teaching and equipping in a variety of ways. In 2024, we met in the beautiful setting of Methven – an inspirational place to recharge.
Diocesan Conference
This year we held a major Diocesan Conference at Christchurch Boys’ High with 400 people in attendance. There were local as well as overseas speakers. Christians from throughout the Diocese came together for fellowship, worship and to be inspired in their faith in Jesus.
Deeper Camp—Families and Children
This is our annual Diocesan camp for young people and it involves lots of activities, music, talks and just having fun together. This is a great opportunity for church communities to bring their families along to create connections.
The Abbey—Youth leaders and Young Adults
The Abbey is the national annual Anglican conference for youth leaders and young adults from across the motu to gather, pray, worship, learn and reimagine together. This usually takes place in Waikanae.
Southern Easter Camp
Easter camp is run by Canterbury Youth Services and attended by many of our parish’s youth groups. It’s a five-day camp held at Spencer Park for high school-aged teenagers. Expect an Easter weekend full of fun, activities, band lead worship, excellent speakers, and encountering Jesus!
