                                 HILLSONG 1992
                July 6-10 1992, HILLS CENTRE, Sydney, AUSTRALIA
    
    
                A CONFERENCE FOR CONTEMPORARY CHURCH LEADERSHIP
            Pastors, Elders, Music Leaders, Creative Ministry Teams.
    
    Conference for Contemporary Church Leadership:-
    
    "HILLSONG 92.. Just another conference? More of the same? ... or an 
    opportunity to be a Nation Builder?  HILLSONG has grown from it's small 
    beginnings as simply a music conference to a point where it has an 
    impact on a whole range of contemporary church leadership issues - and 
    is now a majro event on the calendar for churches in Australia & New 
    Zealand.  HILLSONG is more than a conference; it seeks a standard of 
    excellence, a relevant and challenging expression of contemporary 
    Christianity, and an avenue for a new generation of church leadership.  
    This year, more than any other, HILLSONG is aiming at decision makers, 
    those who God has given the responsibility to implement change, those 
    who can dream dreams, and see visions...  HILLSONG is more than a music 
    conference, or an arts festival.  HILLSONG is an opportunity for your 
    church to be challenged and inspired.  It is the opportunity for your 
    whole church team - Pastors, Elders, Youth workers, Children's workers, 
    Musicians, Worship Leaders, Technical and Support crews - to be the 
    inspiration for your church, and equipped to challenge your community.  
    Together we can be Nation Builders... This is HILLSONG 92 - This is the 
    vision" - Pastor Geoff Bullock, Pastor and Director of HILLSONG 92
    
    Join 1000 people at HILLSONG '92! Last year, 750 people came to 
    HILLSONG.  This year many of you will be coming again and bringing 
    friends.  We're expecting at least 1000 registrants so please hurry and 
    return your registration form.
    
    PASTOR & ELDERS
         
         A major part of the vision and direction of HILLSONG is our 
         ministry to Pastors and Elders.  Throughout the week, in our major 
         electives and interactive workshops, key ministries within 
         Australia and abroad will share how they keep a sharp edge to 
         their personal lives and clarity in heading the voice of God.  
         Pastors and Elders are the nucleus of change in the direction of 
         the church.  To life the standard of leadership, we will encourage 
         excellence, inspire, inform, discuss issues - and provide insights 
         for effective contemporary church leadership.
         
    YOUTH
         
         At the Youth major elective you will receive insights into the 
         strategies being developed by some of the top youth leaders in 
         Australia.  They will be positive and powerful, allowing for 
         exchange of ideas on reaching youth and discipling effectively.  
         They will enhance the gift God has given you and leave you with 
         fresh creativity to impact th elives of young people.
         
    VOCALS
         
         This year Vocal major electives are presented with a difference.  
         Talented and experienced vocalists will be brought in to tackle 
         all styles including: contemporary, jazz, soul, harmony, choir and 
         worship.  It's a week full of great input that no singer should 
         miss.  There will be some opportunities available for delegates to 
         perform.. so come prepared!
         
    DRAMA
         
         This year in the major electives, workshops and clinics, you will 
         discover new ways of unlocking your creativity.  Practical ideas, 
         new techniques, suggestions on writing, all aimed at equipping you 
         to utilize your gifts both in the Church and the world.
         
    PRODUCTION
    
         1992 will see a very different approach to the field of 
         production.  Workshops will cater to those wishing to obtain 
         practical hands-on teaching in the areas of Sound, Lighting, Video 
         and Staging.  The major elective , however, will concentrate more 
         on the commitment of your crew or team, how to communicate your 
         needs, how to control your ministry, and dealing with those 
         everyday problems associated with production.
         
    WORSHIP LEADERS
         
         Leading worship is more than song leading.  Worship must be lived 
         to be lead.  This year at HILLSONG we will feature some of 
         Australia's leaders in worship.  They will share their vision, 
         dreams, methods, but even more so, their concepts on the walk of 
         worship as a lifestyle.
         
    MUSIC DIRECTOR
         
         The church M.D... part-pastor, part-player, part-administrator.  
         Part-time yet full-fime, finder of new choruses, diplomat, 
         ever-ready, always playing.  How do you keep yourself fresh, you 
         rplayes keen, and still have great services... every Sunday.  This 
         year we will have specific, practical and inspirational input from 
         leading church music directors.
         
    CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
    
         Come to both the major electives and workshops for innovative 
         ideas and practical suggestions on creative and effective ways of 
         implementing a children's programme within the church.
         
    MUSICIANS
         
         The musicians programme has had a major impact within churches all 
         around Australia and beyond.  HILLSONG '92 will have a greater 
         emphasis on participation.  We will break down th scale of many 
         learning experiences to allow the delegate to play more.  There 
         will also be an opportunity for some musicans to take part in a 
         true Masterclass, designed to provide new direction and 
         inspiration for musicians with already highly developed skills.  
         There will be concerts where you can perform, as well as `full-on' 
         concerts with established musicians and singers, and professional 
         lighting, sound, and staging.  We are planning to have well known 
         special guests as well as the best, most committed christian 
         musicians around to teach and inspire you.  We are determined to 
         send you home more excited and prepared than you have ever been, 
         to serve God with everything you have.
