“Not until I went to the churches of America and heard her
pulpits aflame
with righteousness
did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”
Alexis de Tocqueville, c. 1835

Church And State
Australian Summit
Church And State is answering the burning questions of many Christians and a lost culture stumbling in the darkness. You will be encouraged, equipped and challenged to be effective salt and light – discipling the nation, teaching them everything Jesus commanded.
A fear of politics has gripped the pulpits of Australia for decades, and our once humble nation now openly throws parades to celebrate pride in sexual sin, rejoices in the legalisation of clinically killing and eagerly sacrifices God-given freedoms in worship of Government.
Australians are actively being discipled by the media, internet influencers, politicians and entertainment celebrities about the most debated issues in our culture. Yet far too many preachers are remain silent about those topics – despite the Bible being loud and clear.
We need a reformation. There can be no revival in any nation without repentance, and there will be no repentance without the pulpits of Australia aflame with fearless preaching of righteousness.
“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 convene to equip Christians with knowledge and understanding of the authority and wisdom of Scripture, as well as the lessons taught by history.
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 next Church And State conference near you.
“For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?”
– 1 Corinthians 14:8
In 2025 Australia’s leading Christian culture ministries are partnering to make this conference the largest, clearest call for repentance, reformation and revival in this nation. Australian Christian Lobby, Vision Christian Media, Family Voice, Youth For Christ, Family First, Never Again Is Now, Cherish Life 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.
New in 2025!
There are several important innovations and changes to the eighth CAS Summit this year.
Most excitingly, this Summit will be a (previously) rare coming together of nationally significant Christian organisations equipping Australians to redeem the culture with the Gospel. You’ll hear from leaders on the frontline of evangelism, teaching, media, advocacy & politics.
Second, instead of equal length conference days (three sessions per day) we are putting two thirds of the conference on Saturday: two sessions on Friday afternoon, then Saturday featuring a generous four sessions in a full day & night. Quite a few more people can’t get away from work on Friday, so we hope this change helps more people enjoy more of the excellent speakers coming to Brisbane. The individual day ticket pricing also reflect these differences.
The separately ticketed Senders & Speakers Dinner will move to Friday night, and this year’s dinner includes former Prime Minister of Australia, the Honourable Tony Abbott as our keynote speaker.
Third, we are convening in a more modern venue with the capacity for dual streams this year. This will allow us to present specifically crafted for pastors and other ministry professionals at the same time as youth and young adults on Friday afternoon (all welcome to both), and use the same auditorium for overflow on Saturday.
Eight Sessions to Redeem Culture!
1A - Equipping the Equippers
1B - Youth Stream
2A - My generation will end abortion!
2B - Youth! Don't underestimate your influence!
Extra - Senders' Dinner
3 - Multiculturalism vs. Western Culture
Traditional Aboriginal Religion & Culture
Can Christians be political?
6 - Pulpits Aflame with Righteousness!

- Parking under the conference centre is “first in, best dressed”, and discounted 25% for us to $30 per day. You will have to park, then register your number plate inside during the day (take a photo to help remember), then pay the reduced rate on exit when the gate reads your number plate.
- Parking at the nearby Airpark 2 Domestic is $22 per day, with a shuttle to & from the domestic terminal approximately every 10 minutes. It’s then a short walk to the venue (watch).
