Queensland Theological College - Brisbane, Queensland Australia

Mark Driscoll Biblical Theology of Mission Part One"All Things to all men by all means...?" August 28

Queensland is a tough mission field - we are surrounded by unprecedented prosperity and religious indifference. How do we plant effective churches, and revitalise complacent old ones, in a culture like this? In this exciting one-day conference for pastors, church leaders, and theological students, Mark Driscoll will challenge us to be doctrinally faithful and culturally relevant. Mark Driscoll founded Mars Hill Church in Seattle in the autumn of 1996. The church has grown from a small Bible study to a large congregation in one of America's least churched cities. He leads the Acts 29 Church Planting Network. Coffee from 9:30am, main program from 10am to 3pm. Held on the University of Queensland campus. Morning session at the Raybould Lecture Theatre (click for map), afternoon session at the Abel Smith Lecture Theatre. Pay parking is available on campus in green and purple zones. Registration $50, including lunch. Pre-registration essential. Register here as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Wes Redgen, Dr. Leigh Trevaskis, and Dr. Bruce Winter September 16-19 This is part two in a series that seeks to address the agenda Christ has commissioned for every church. Our immediate mission field and beyond needs to operate not only on the grounds of pragmatism (if it works it must be right) but on Biblical foundations.

Graeme Goldsworthy will lecture on September 16 from 9:30am to 1:00pm on “Foundations for Biblical Theology”.September 17 to 19 from 9:30am to 1:00pm QTC faculty will lecture: Wes Redgen on “Abandoning the Jewish model and its message for today”, Leigh Trevaskis will discuss the neglected topic of “Missions in the Old Testament”, and Bruce Winter will lecture on “Missions are mandated for many, not just the ministers in the New Testament. Graeme Goldsworthy is the author of According to Plan, Gospel and Kingdom, Gospel and Wisdom, Gospel and Revelation, and Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture.
