Are you on your student group leadership team? You’re invited to join us for the 2026 Student Committee Training Conference (SCTC).
What is SCTC?
You’re invited to join us for the 2026 Student Committee Training Conference (SCTC). This year we’re considering Christian ministry and reflecting on the precise nature of the part we play in achieving God’s great purposes for the world.
It will be a fantastic opportunity to meet other student leaders from around the country, share ideas, and be trained for service and leadership, so that together we can see the cause of Christ advanced on our campuses in the coming year.
Start: 3 December 10:30am (AEDT)
End: 4 December 7pm (AEDT) (just before NTE2026)
SCTC program includes the AFES AGM which starts 4 December 4:30pm (AEDT).
Cost: from $105 – depending on accommodation type chosen.
Program Overview
God has a plan for our world and incredibly he includes us in that work. But if we’re not clear on the part we play, we’ll either neglect it, work against it, or forget that it is God himself who ultimately brings about the fulfilment of his purposes.
Over the course of the conference, we’ll explore:
- the mission of God and the means by which he is achieving it
- our part in that mission and how that informs what we do and don’t do on campus
- a strategic framework for ministry that can be applied in any context
We’ll also explore the wild variety of ways within this framework that we can preach Christ on campus at our Ideas Forum.
Our hope is that you’ll be better equipped to lead your group with clarity and conviction, making wise decisions as you proclaim Jesus on your campus in the coming year.

SCTC Testimonials
SCTC was a wonderful opportunity to spend as student leaders focusing in on God and rooted ourselves in Him before we embark upon the next year of ministry. It was a helpful time both to grow myself and as our committee, fixing our eyes on Jesus.
SCTC is so good!!! There is so much growth and fruitful conversations to be had. On top of the incredible sessions there are, the mutual encouragement I found increased my zeal and excitement to serve God in such an awesome context.
SCTC gave me tools to realise the mission that God has graciously given us as student leaders on campus, and how to carry it out. It has been encouraging to do this alongside brothers and sisters across the country, and to learn and grow with them.
SCTC is an extremely valuable training conference for all those stepping or currently in leadership and executive positions. Having the time in God’s word and amongst other Christian leaders, thinking through what God’s word says about how and why we lead and what to consider has definitely impacted how I will lead next year.
SCTC was definitely such an incredible opportunity for me to be encourage by the uniting of committee members from different unis from all over the country for the Gospel. It has both spiritual and practical encouragement and has given me plenty to bring back to the rest of my committee!
The SCTC was super helpful in thinking big-picture about ministry, and how to approach proclaiming Christ on campus. It was also super helpful to meet and hear from other student leaders from around the country
The wisdom that SCTC provided about my role as a leader was invaluable. It was a great reminder of how we are stewards of God, nothing is our own, and it is only by his glorious grace that we have anything
SCTC is a great way of meeting likeminded Christian leaders and be given the tools to lead well. Meeting other exec allows for cross-pollination of ideas and experiences, and I’ve walked away with an excitement for ministry on-campus again. The teaching/training is so helpful to think well about how to lead well
SCTC is a great chance to stop and think and pray through what it means to be a leader at the university christian group. It also is a chance to learn about other groups and meet students.
