KIDSHAPER 2024 IS BACK!!

It is with great excitement that ACCkids is hosting Kidshaper Conference again after many years disruption. ACCkids has never changed it’s desire to train and equip leaders but after years of innovation and change we will gather together again on the Gold Coast. We have brilliant Speakers and Breakout sessions along with extended time of worship and Ministry time however what makes the conference is YOU, the Children’s Pastor and Leader!!

We have always put a high priority on relationship and because the conference is being hosted in Robina on the Gold Coast we have structured the Conference so that you can enjoy the Gold Coast Beaches, Shops, cafes and Theme parks during the day and then attend the conference in the afternoon and evenings. This allows for greater levels of relationships and then at night for us all to eat together.

Below is the conference SCHEDULE AND SPEAKER BIOS

We look forward to hosting you all in June as we know it will be an amazing time together
