Spurgeon Conference 2025
Feed the sheep, not amuse the goats
- Dates
- 13–14 June 2025
- Venue
- Haddon Institute, 3/936 Stanley Street East, East Brisbane QLD 4169
Join us for a weekend rooted in the bold, biblical legacy of Charles Spurgeon, a man who preached with clarity, conviction, and compassion. In an age where entertainment often replaces edification, the Spurgeon Conference calls pastors, leaders, and believers back to the simplicity and power of feeding Christ's sheep with the Word of God.
