Impact Bible Conference 2026
2026-05-29 08:00 - 2026-06-01 17:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | Riverbend Bible Church, 354 Te Aute Road, Pukahu, Hawkes Bay, 4172, New Zealand
The aim of Impact Bible Conference is drawn from Jesus’ words in John 17:17, “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.” That is why, each year at Impact, you will find sound and gifted speakers, from all over the world, expositionally and exceptionally preaching that truth. You will also find new and old believers, also from all over the world, seeking to learn and live out that truth.
Since the first conference was held in 1998, the Lord has used this ministry in many ways. He continues to grow the conference and use it to make an impact on those who attend—from bringing many to salvation, to transforming lives from spiritual apathy to passion for His glory, to refocussing hearts and minds on His person and will. As a church, it is a consistent opportunity to joyfully serve other believers from many churches and locations.
So, come and join us at Impact as we worship the Lord through the hearing of His word, the singing of His praises and fellowship with one another.

TMC North - Winter 2026
2026-07-06 - 2026-07-09 | Christian Youth Camps Inc, 148 Waingaro Road, Ngāruawāhia, Waikato, 3720, New Zealand
Equipping the Next Generation to Think, Believe, and Live for Christ
Did you know that 70% of young adults leave the church by age 22 – or that only 4% of Gen Z hold a Biblical worldview? At our camp, we’re tackling this head-on. We empower young people to wrestle with tough questions, challenge their doubts, and confidently defend their faith in a world full of competing ideas.
Through engaging discussions, interactive sessions, and real-life examples, campers will explore the hardest questions facing Christians today – not just getting answers, but learning how to study the Bible and think critically for themselves. From classrooms to workplaces and beyond, they’ll discover how to boldly stand for Christ in every part of life.
Campers will leave equipped, confident, and inspired to live out their faith as ambassadors for Christ. Don’t miss this opportunity to grow in faith, make lasting friendships, and dive deeper into God’s Word!
Registration: After clicking the “Register Now” link, you’ll need to create an account with CYC Ngaruawahia to complete your registration through their website.
CAMP SPEAKER – David Deane

We’re thrilled to announce that David Deane, from Questioning Christianity, is flying over from Australia to speak at this camp.
David grew up in rural Australia and discovered a love for exploring life’s big questions while at university – a passion that has taken him from working in the defence and aerospace industry to speaking, teaching, and mentoring with Questioning Christianity (QC). He holds a Master’s degree in Christian Apologetics, has studied at the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, and regularly addresses challenging questions at schools, universities, and churches. David is known for making faith thoughtful, relatable, and engaging, and he loves inspiring young people to think deeply about God, life, and their own questions – while having fun along the way.

No Rivals | Students Apologetics Conference
2026-09-12 09:00 - 17:00 | Grace Vineyard Church, 150 Ferry Road, Waltham, Christchurch, Auckland, 8011, New Zealand
SUPER EARLY BIRD TICKETS ON SALE NOW – Ends 27 May
“I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God.” – Isaiah 45:5
What does it mean to believe in a world full of competing voices, worldviews, and truth claims? No Rivals is a one-day apologetics conference designed to help students think clearly, ask honest questions, and grow in confidence that the God of the Bible stands alone.
We’re really pleased to be joined by Abdu Murray, an internationally respected speaker who engages thoughtfully with Christianity, culture, and the questions people are asking today.
The day is aimed at high school and university students, but is open to anyone who wants to better understand and articulate the Christian faith. Whether you’re exploring Christianity, working through doubts, or wanting to be better equipped to share your faith, this conference is designed with you in mind.
Across the day, we’ll be looking at what it means to say that God has no rivals – not just as a statement of belief, but as something that shapes how we understand truth, identity, and the world around us.
We’d love to have you there.
