We’re looking forward to being all together in January! The theme for Nexus 2025 is “Steadfast.” Our prayer is for you to experience a deeper sense of steadfastness both in your relationship with God and in your everyday ministry. “…Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labour is not in vain.” – 1 Corinthians 15:58. May this be an encouraging time for us all.

A bus from the Brisbane domestic airport will be available. Seats need to be booked through registration. Once you have booked your flights please add those details to this document. If you are flying into or departing Brisbane on a different day to the bus shuttle, getting the bus shuttle might not be the best option for you. Please refer to the FAQs.
Airport pick up will be at 2pm AEST Monday 13th January, please book flights to arrive at least 30 min before then so you have time to collect your luggage and go to the meeting point. Your bus captain will mark the role and depart. If you are running late and will miss the departure time please contact the bus captain to inform them that you will no longer require the bus and contact Stacey Kerr on 0402 589 427 via text (there is poor reception at the venue) and she will arrange for someone to pick you up at a nearby train station. Please catch the airtrain from the airport to Coomera Station. The bus captain will be selected once we have people’s flight details.

Roundtable Time:
Collaboration, innovation and refining sometimes require a fresh perspective with people outside of our own context. Come to this time prepared to share something from your ministry (individual or team) that you would like to brainstorm with others. It could be an area you (or your team) feel stuck in and want some fresh eyes on, or alternatively, it might be sharing about something that has been going well but needs refinement through a different lens. You will have 30 minutes to share in a small group setting, made up of people from across the country. You can use this time to be encouraged, gain insight and generate ideas as you share with one another and think outside the box.
Who will be there?
Power to Change missionaries from the campus strategy as well as some missionaries from other strategies, supportive spouses, volunteers and potential recruits.
What is the accommodation like?
It will depend on which accommodation building you are in. We are spread over four sites, Lodge, WEC, Pioneers and CMS. More information on the accommodation can be found on the QCCC Mt Tamborine Mountain Campus website.
Families, in particular those with toddlers or younger will be accommodated in ensuite rooms. If you need accommodation with an ensuite be sure to write that in the additional information section of your registration and we will do our best to accommodate that request.
Unless informed otherwise, all beds are singles.
When does registration close?
We ask that all Power to Change missionaries, employees etc. register by November 30th. This will give us a better idea on how many potential recruits and other guests we can have at the event. Registration for guests will be open until 13th Dec.
When can I arrive onsite?
We ask that unless you are part of the set up team, please do not arrive until 3:30pm on Monday. We have a group before us in some of the buildings and will not have access to them until 3:30pm.
When do I need to be out of my room?
All cabins must be vacated and vacuumed by 9am.
I’m interstate and will be flying into Brisbane or departing Brisbane on a different day to the bus shuttle. Should I still catch the bus?
Due to issues with the road around Mount Tamborine, our bus capacity will be 57 people. If you are flying into Brisbane or departing a different day to the bus shuttle, catching a ride with a local person may be a better option for you.
What is in a linen pack?
A set of sheets, pillow and pillow case, blanket, towel and mattress protector. Linen packs are $40 each and need to be booked at rego. As the venue needs 4 weeks to arrange the hire of these packs, linen cannot be booked/ added to your registration after registration closes.
Will the Camp Grounds Cafe (onsite cafe) be available?
The Camp Grounds Cafe will be open during Breakfast time until the session starts at 9am. Tokens for the coffee will be available to order at rego. Only basic coffees not syrups/double shots etc will be available.
