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.
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
Common Hour
Mondays 4pm or Wednesdays 1pm (starting week 2 of semester 2)
Serving Jesus effectively requires character, conviction, and competence. Equip is our weekly training sessions designed to help us grow in all three.
This semester we’ll be exploring the topic of The Bible: a place to stand
Archimedes famously said, “Give me a place to stand and I can move the world”. The Bible claims to be God’s true word to us, giving a sure place to stand in the cross currents of culture and personal opinion. But what really is the Bible? Can I really trust it? Isn’t it also just a product of culture and opinion? Come and explore these questions together in Common Hour—a seminar-style session kind of like the seminars at Mid Year Mornings.
