BIG TOP
Join with thousands of others to be inspired and challenged through a time of sung worship, encouraging teaching and space for Spirit-filled prayer ministry. Big Top sessions are hosted by a team of our New Wine Leadership and are a core part of our time together.
IMPACT
Impact Celebrations are energetic and authentic, and led by a team of Urban church leaders and practitioners. Using creative and raw storytelling, Impact seeks to highlight God’s work through the beauty and uniqueness of our urban communities. Impact has a focus on those who live and work in urban communities – the places often forgotten, where life can be at its most honest and challenging and yet have a deep hope and joy. The team are all on the front lines in our communities, and our hope is to host impactful times of worship, word and encounters with Jesus.
AWAKEN
These gatherings are times of worship, teaching and practical prayer ministry, focussed on equipping and empowering us to contend in prayer for a move of the Spirit in our time, within local churches to see nations changed. We’ll explore ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit together and have lots of pressure-free spaces in these gatherings and within the breakout streams for workshops to practice and encourage each other in spiritual gifts.
Rise
Rise is our early morning Bible teaching, where we journey together through a book or passage of Scripture over the course of the week. It’s a peaceful, focused time to start the day grounded in God’s Word.
Chapel
Chapel is a reflective service with a short time of worship, a thought for the day, and space for quiet prayer. This lectio-style service is the perfect way to pause, listen, and meet with God in the middle of it all.
Intergenerational
We love God’s family - the church! And what could be better than all ages worshipping together with interactive songs and actions? Intergenerational sessions are breakouts and activities specifically designed for the whole family - kids, teenagers and adults together. Find worship, teaching and fun that speaks to every age and helps families grow in faith side by side.
Late Night
Late Night is everything happening after the evening Celebrations, with something for every vibe – from high-energy music and dancing, to relaxed lounges, games and quizzes, extended times of prayer and worship, and special one-off events.
It’s the perfect way to round off your day at the Festival!
Young Adults
YA is the place for young adults (18-29s) to connect, worship and grow as disciples.
We believe that by meeting together from across the nation to inspire and encourage one another, we can see a generation of young leaders released to impact society and change the spiritual temperature!
FUN ZONE
If you are seeking a fun-filled experience, head to the Fun Zone!
In the showring, enjoy rides, the sports zone, the iconic ferris wheel, crafts and competitions, sweet treats – plus the Awaken Venue and exhibitors showcasing Christian gifts, products, and organisations.
The Fun Zone also includes the Bandstand and the Food Court providing delicious eats and live music & partner experiences – great times guaranteed!
LEADERSHIP NETWORK
The Leadership Network Venue is a space for anyone serving in a leadership role in a church – church leaders, worship, kids and youth leaders, or any other ministry area. It’s a space to meet others, receive prayer and connect with the Network Team to discover how we can support your ministry throughout the year.
The Leadership Network team also facilitate breakouts and gatherings for those involved in church leadership & ministry.
