The AFES National Training Event brings together students from right across Australia. Five awesome days in Canberra praising God, digging into his Word, and training to serve Him.
Tuesdays 1pm
Weeks 1-6 in Murdoch LT, Week 8-12 in Tattersal LTThursdays 12pm in the UWA Chapel (repeat of Tuesday)
The Bible is God’s word so we want to hear him speak.
That’s why every week during semester 80-100 of us gather in a lecture theatre to hear God’s word proclaimed. We’d love you to join us.

Equip

Serving Jesus effectively requires character, conviction, and competence. Equip is our weekly training sessions designed to help us grow in all three.

4pm Electives (meet in the Arts Courtyard, 6 August)
Choose from a range of courses designed to equip you to serve Jesus more effectively (see the back of this sheet). If you haven’t done Sharing the Gospel or Uncover, then start with one of them.
If you want to do an elective but can’t make Mondays 4pm, then let us know via the form below (hey that rhymes!) and we’ll try to find another time that will work for you.
