If you are leading/involved/interested in youth ministry and want to grow and develop your leadership skills and approach; we have a streamline of workshop trainings for you at the 2026 Seek First Leadership Summit. Pr Sean and Pr Eden serve as the Youth and Children’s Ministries Leaders for the Western Australian Conference, leading with a deep passion for empowering young people within the wider context of family ministry. Their heart for fostering healthy, connected, and Christ-centred communities drives everything they do. In this youth ministry stream, Pr Sean and Pr Eden will present a series of practical and inspiring workshops designed to strengthen leadership and equip local churches. Sessions will explore Youth Leadership and Culture, effective planning, and will feature a special workshop dedicated to Storm Co—highlighting how this impactful service initiative can be championed and owned by local churches. Together, they bring energy, experience, and a clear vision for cultivating strong, vibrant youth ministries across Western Australia.

With over 20 years of ministry experience—most of which have been dedicated to leading and innovating in the field of Children’s Ministry—we are delighted to welcome Pr Daron Pratt as a streamline presenter for “Seek First Leadership Summit”. Pr Daron brings a wealth of knowledge, practical expertise, and heartfelt passion for ministering to children and families.

He will be leading a stream of dynamic workshops, including Alive in Jesus Sabbath School training, practical steps to kick-start or revitalise your local church’s Children’s Ministry, and navigating the challenges faced within local church contexts.
And of course, you won’t want to miss Pr Daron’s signature energy—from balloon artistry to his deeply Christ-centred approach—as he opens his “soapbox” of insights, resources, and inspiration for anyone committed to nurturing the faith of the next generation.

Jesus has called us to “Go into all the world” to make disciples and even in our own country we have many different cultures living right in amongst us. A very important part of our Australian landscape is our First Nations people and ministering with them is a vital part of our ministry in Western Australia. Can we use the same discipleship methods to share Jesus or are there particular considerations we should think about as we mingle and connect with our Aboriginal brothers and sisters. Come and yarn with Pr John Beck who is the AUC Remote Area Pastor working in the remote areas of WA, NT and SA. Discover effective ways to reach and connect with our First Nations people as we share the love of Jesus and Bring Hope to every community in Western Australia.

Prayer is central to a healthy, Spirit-led church. Discover how to foster a prayer culture that draws your church into deeper dependence on God and centres your community on God’s presence and power.

Community incubators for building relationships and sharing the gospel,

Leadership laboratories for training future leaders.

Whether you are a pastor or volunteer, you’ll learn frameworks and strategies to grow your church through small groups. Discover how small groups form the core of a healthy, thriving church.

Sharing faith shouldn’t feel forced. Join this workshop for a practical and encouraging session on how to talk about Jesus naturally, what to say, when to say it, and how genuine care opens doors to meaningful conversations.
