A Political reformation Conference
Christians Being Prophetic, not Partisan
12-13 June 2026 | Newmarket, Brisbane Qld
Don’t miss
Church And State
Australian Summit IX
The seven major sessions are roughly 2 hours each
Islam | 9:30am Friday 12 June
with Bishop Ceirion Dewar, Dr Richard Shumack and Rev Mark Leach + Q&A
A question of belief, law, and cultural direction. This session examines how Islamic ideas interact with Christian/Western institutions, freedoms and national identity — without slogans or avoidance. Where are the tensions? What can coexist? What cannot?
Social Reformation | 1pm Friday 12 June
with Dave Pellowe, Mike Foster, Matthew Cliff and Robbie Katter MP + Q&A
Real change doesn’t come from managing decline. It comes from rethinking foundations. This session explores what genuine reformation looks like — in character, family, Church and politics — and why conformity and compromise won’t get us there.
Biblical Patriarchy | 3:30pm Friday 12 June
with Andrew Gray, Paul Bedwell and Jamie Zhu + Q&A
Power, order, and responsibility. This session challenges the simplistic caricatures and asks what patriarchy means biblically, how it’s been dismantled, and what replaces it. Is the alternative working—or creating new problems we’re not allowed to question?
Worship & Gospel Rally | 6:30pm Friday 12 June
Enjoy dinner with friends at local restaurants before the FREE evening session.
THIS is how we save Australia! Let’s join together and worship Jesus as the True Sovereign of Australia, her parliaments and people. Bring your friends and hear Jamie Zhu talk about how social media fame, fortune and 10 million followers left him unsatisified and without real hope… until JESUS!
Includes time for Q&A.
Abortion | 9:30am Saturday 13 June
with Lola Popoola, Matthew Cliff, Louise Adsett and Rob Norman + Q&A
No sanitised slogans or euphemisms — this session reveals the confronting Truth and realities of Australia’s polite and professional slaughter of a quarter of every generation since 1969. Featuring the national premiere of ACL’s new documentary, Born Alive, Left to Die.
Politics is Changing | 1pm Saturday 13 June
with Dave Pellowe, Barclay McGain, John Steenhof and Lyle Shelton + Q&A
Too many of our favourite politicians have become institutionalised, offering weak defences for unconscionable inaction. The ground is shifting beneath the system. Voters are restless. Old loyalties are breaking. This session pulls the threads together: what’s changing, why it’s happening now, and who will shape what comes next.
One Nation | 3:45pm Saturday 13 June
with Senator Pauline Hanson and Senator Malcolm Roberts
Populism, protest, or political force? Should Christians blindly support any party, or always use discernment for every candidate? This session looks at One Nation’s increasing role in reshaping Australia’s political landscape — where it disrupts, what it reveals about voter frustration with the major parties, and what the future holds as the party democratises and professionalises.
VIP Meet & Greet | 5:30pm Saturday 13 June
At the conclusion of the 9th Church And State Summit, the generous donors supporting the mission are invited to an exclusive* canapes reception with most of our speakers, including Senators Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts.
*separate ticket required
“For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?”
– 1 Corinthians 14:8
In 2026 Australia’s leading Christian culture ministries are partnering to make this conference the largest, clearest call for repentance, reformation and revival in this nation. Youth For Christ, Cherish Life, Answers In Genesis, Canberra Declaration, Australian Christian Lobby, Family Voice and Church And State are all bringing their wisdom and experience to resource courageous believers for the historic mission of the Church: to redeem culture.
“So many wonderful speakers with great teaching, wisdom and words of encouragement. The prayer and worship was so revitalising and of great comfort during these difficult times.”
“It was my first time attending a conference such as this and it was well beyond my expectations. Encouraging, enlightening, educational – the speakers were incredible. Thank you so much. I can’t wait for the next one.”
“I joined the livestream & had the most wonderful day listening to your inspiring speakers. This was the first time I had heard of or attended a Church and State conference and I loved it. I hope to buy a copy to own.”
“I was there, an experience I will never forget. The angels were worshipping with us. Speakers were excellent, awake to all that is happening in our nation. Jesus was glorified throughout the whole day and evening.”
“My family thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the insights and expertise of every speaker. It was such a feast for our souls and a truly blessed way to spend a Saturday. We hope to get along in person next time.”
“Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God—what is good and well-pleasing and perfect.”
At Church And State conferences, fearless speakers converge to equip a mostly-Christian audience with knowledge and understanding of the authority and wisdom of Scripture, as well as the lessons taught by history, data and research.
Prepare to be challenged to think outside your traditional comfort zone and what the world says, and to be refreshed by generous time for fellowship with faithful believers.
If you are serious about loving your neighbour and seeking first the Kingdom of God, do not miss the ninth Church And State Australian Summit.
