Biblical preaching
Hearing God’s Word clearly taught, with Christ and his gospel at the centre.
A gospel-centred conference initiative
For the gospel.
For the church.
For Australia.
Gathering around God’s Word. Encouraging one another. Equipping pastors and strengthening local churches.
Our founding conferenceSecond half of 2027 · Brisbane, Queensland
01 / Our purpose
The gospel of Christ.
The good of his church.
Our desire is to see the gospel of Christ advanced in Australia and his people encouraged to serve him faithfully.
Reformation Australia is an annual conference initiative bringing Christians together for biblical preaching, mutual encouragement, and pastoral training and equipping.
We want these gatherings to be a blessing to local churches: helping believers grow in the truth, encouraging those who lead, and strengthening our shared work of making Christ known.
The church moves forward
by looking back.
We look back with gratitude to the Reformation, to seasons of revival and awakening, and to the ways God has renewed his church through his Word. We seek that same faithfulness today: proclaiming Christ, strengthening churches and passing the gospel to another generation.
Mutual encouragement
Making room for fellowship, prayer and the encouragement of Christians serving in different places.
Pastoral equipping
Training and encouraging pastors and church leaders for faithful ministry in their local churches.
02 / Our distinctives
Confessional.
Gospel-centred.
Evangelical.
Rooted in truth.
United in gospel purpose.
Reformation Australia embraces the historic Protestant confessions of the Reformation and its legacy.
We welcome fellowship among Christians and churches shaped by these confessions:
- Savoy Declaration
- Westminster Confession of Faith
- Second London Baptist Confession
- Augsburg Confession
- Belgic Confession
Read the confessions in full through these external resources. Editions and translations may differ; the Belgic Confession opens as a PDF.
We share a commitment to the authority of Holy Scripture and to the gospel of Jesus Christ: salvation by God’s grace, through faith in Christ, to the glory of God.
These traditions have real differences. Our cooperation does not require churches to set aside their particular confessional convictions, nor does it pretend that those differences do not matter.
Together, we seek the advance of the gospel across Australia. We want to see churches planted and strengthened, pastors equipped, and Christians encouraged through cooperation, gospel partnership and mutual service.
Our aim is fellowship rooted in truth, directed towards making Christ known and building up his church.

04 / Pastors & local churches
Encouraged together.
Equipped to serve.
The work continues in the local church, long after a conference has ended.
We want Reformation Australia to serve pastors and congregations, encouraging faithful preaching, deepening fellowship, and helping leaders in the everyday work of caring for God’s people.
Whether you are a pastor, a church leader or a Christian seeking to grow, our hope is that these gatherings will strengthen you for life and service where God has placed you.
The purpose behind the gathering05 / In gospel partnership
Partnering churches
We welcome partnership with confessional churches across the historic Protestant traditions, including Anglican, Lutheran, Presbyterian, continental Reformed and Reformed Baptist churches. Drawing on the doctrinal riches of the Reformation, we work together to strengthen churches and advance the gospel throughout Australia, calling people to embrace Jesus Christ as he is revealed in Scripture and proclaimed in the gospel.
