HEARTS IGNITED LIVES TRANSFORMED THE CHURCH ALIVE
A defining gathering for pastors, leaders and churches across NSW & ACT.
As the frontman of deliRious?, Martin Smith hasn’t just written worship songs, he has helped redefine the sound of modern worship around the world.
Martin has performed on some of the world’s biggest stages, including Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, toured alongside Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams, achieved seven UK Top 40 singles, sold millions of records and seen his music reach hundreds of millions of streams.
Martin carries a passionate call for worship, revival and a Church fully alive, and this October, we get to welcome him to Awakening!
This year's Awakening State Conference brings together an outstanding lineup of keynote speakers united by a shared passion for the Church and a desire to see people encounter the presence and power of God.​
This year, we’ve intentionally carved out an hour each day of State Conference to slow down, lean in and make room for the Holy Spirit. These are our Awakening Sessions.
Space to worship.
Space to respond.
Space to encounter God.
Across the three days, these sessions will be led by Darlene Zschech alongside Nikki Dent, James Murray and David Hall, creating space for us to seek God together and respond to what the Holy Spirit is doing.
We believe these could be some of the most precious and significant moments of our time together.
Each afternoon throughout State Conference, you'll have the chance to sit in the room with some of the most compelling voices in ministry, leadership and business today.
Choose from one of three streams each day, and spend time with world-class presenters who don't just talk theory - they've lived it.
​
From Dave Adamson to Sam Cawthorn, Shelley Johnson and Wez Hone, these are leaders at the top of their fields, bringing hard-won wisdom, real insight and the kind of practical tools that actually change how you lead.
​​
No registration needed. Simply show up from 4:30 pm each afternoon, take a seat, and get ready to be refreshed and equipped for all that God has called you to.
​
Our Kids team have been busy preparing for a life-changing conference experience for your kids. This year, we are thrilled to welcome special guests Brendon and Cathie Clancy, who bring faith-filled fun, laughter, and life-changing moments with Jesus.
If you're a parent, make sure your kids don't miss this.
Get ready. The youth program at Awakening 2026 is going to be something else entirely.
We've been building something special for your teenagers and young adults - and this year we're bringing in two of the most exciting youth voices around to help lead it. Ps Laura Toggs and Ps David Hall carry a genuine fire for this generation, and they minister through the power of the Holy Spirit.
If you're a parent - don't let your teenager miss this.
