The City on a Hill Conference is all about the beauty, truth and relevance of Jesus.
The 2019 Conference Arise was held on October 4 at the iconic Athenaeum Theatre in Melbourne, the three-day conference was a unique and inspiring moment to connect with men and women of faith, hear world-class gospel teaching from the book of Jonah, engage with passionate praise and prayer, and - above all else - see the name of Jesus lifted high.
We were looking forward to gathering together for the City on a Hill 2020 Conference in October last year. Sadly, in light of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the City on a Hill conference did not take place as originally planned.
We do hope to reschedule the conference to suitable time in the future, and look forward to the opportunity to physically gather together again as a movement of churches. In the mean time, please reach out if you have any questions by emailing conference@cityonahill.com.au.
