Workshop Overview

There has never been a time in Australia where church planting and church revitalisation have been more important. But how do we reset our work in this space into a discipleship multiplication alignment that is laid at the feet of the people of God? How do we use this alignment to spark kingdom activity which provides the Body of Christ with a rich hope for the future? Join Colin Stoodley in exploring the topic, 'Church Planting and Renewal in Australia'.

ABOUT COLIN STOODLEY

Colin Stoodley's ministry began in 1978 as a Youth and Community Worker with The Salvation Army in western Sydney, followed by training for officership and ordination in 1981. Over the next decade, he and his wife Sharon served in Corps leadership and church planting while Colin completed qualifications in ministry and classical piano. Transitioning to the Baptist Union of Queensland, Colin held various leadership and planting roles, completing additional theological studies and being ordained as a Baptist minister in 1997. His work expanded to include roles such as CEO of the Pines Training Centre, Senior Lecturer at Christian Heritage College, and Mission to Queensland leader for the Baptist Union. Along the way, Colin earned an MA (Theology), an MEdR, and a PhD, all focusing on church planting, while also beginning a consultancy for churches and not-for-profits.

An accomplished musician and author, Colin released a collection of worship songs in 2014 and published a book based on his PhD thesis in late 2024.
