Nourish – May

22 May 2026 9:30am-3:00pm
Essendon Baptist Community Church, 138 Buckley St Essendon

Nourish is a day for Victorian Baptist pastors and spouses. 

This theme for Nourish this May is Steps — and it follows a rhythm we see woven through the life of Jesus himself.

Step Away. Before the big moments of his ministry, Jesus withdrew to pray, to listen, to be repositioned by his Father.

Step In. Every time Jesus withdrew, he returned — with more of himself to give.

Step Out. Jesus sent them out on mission – The mission was always meant to be shared.

Our guest speaker for the day is Rev Dr Mike Stevens, Senior Pastor at Clovercrest Baptist Church in Adelaide. Mike is a sharp thinker and a genuine practitioner, and we’re confident he’ll speak into exactly the places we need to hear on the day.

This day is for you. Step away from the noise. Step back in with fresh eyes. Step out with renewed purpose. Join us for a full day of reflection, connection, and honest conversation about what it means to lead well — for yourself, your church, and those you’re sending out.

We hope you’ll join us. Let someone else hold things for a day. Feel free to bring your spouse.
