Our Story

1999
First Conference

Leaders To Go was launched in 1999.

It was a conference specifically designed for leaders-of-leaders in Children and Families Ministry. The conference has attracted key leaders from all states in Australia and New Zealand.

The conference is promoted widely through denominational representatives and state based Children’s Ministry Networks.

2001 - 2019
Biennial Conferences

L2G has been held biennially (every two years). The conferences have been held in the three eastern states: NSW, Qld & Victoria.

2021
COVID Interurrupts

Our leadership team felt we didn’t need to add another conference to this year’s calendar but we wanted to keep the Leaders To Go connections alive by holding a one day retreat in various locations that join together online.

2022
Online Events

We ran a series of short online events to foster community and connection, including a book club, ideas marketplace, speaker’s corner and the biennial L2g challenge.

2023
Another Full Conference - All Together

Plans for a full, in-person national conference in the second half of 2023.

To meet with others in a similar area of ministry to wrestle with the big picture issues.

I always find L2G a refreshing time spiritually. More so than at other conferences I’ve been to.

Being able to network with others in similar roles. Having shared values & challenges, & being able to journey together.
