FOCUS Weekend Away 2027

November 14, 2026

Join us for a Weekend Away at Coolum Beach, from Friday May 21 to Sunday May 23. This is a weekend for all ages, with a kids program, Bible teaching, and plenty of time to enjoy the beach! It’s a great way to meet new people and set aside some time to grow as a disciple.

Speaker: Mike Bird
We're delighted that Mikeis joining us for FOCUS. Mike is Deputy Principal and Lecturer in Theology at Ridley College in Melbourne, Australia. He is the author of over thirty books including Evangelical Theology, Seven Things I Wish Christians Knew About the Bible, Romans (SGBC), The Gospel of the Lord: How the Early Church Wrote the Story of Jesus, What Christians Ought To Believe, and with N.T. Wright, The New Testament in its World.

Michael describes himself as a “biblical theologian” who endeavours to bring together biblical studies and systematic theology. He believes that the purpose of the church is to “gospelize,” that is to preach, promote, and practise the Gospel-story of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The theme of the talks will be on: Spirit, Word, Sacrament, and Mission
Mike will take us through the themes of fresh wind and fresh fire, the gospel in story and symbol, refocusing our efforts on following in the footsteps of Jesus. We hope to see our faith excited, our efforts redoubled, and our hearts warmed by what God is doing and might yet do at St Bart’s.

Register early to get $10 off (per person). We'd love to enable everyone (of all ages to come). So register, invite your friends, and please reach out to Amy if you have any questions about the cost or accommodation (amy@stbarts.com.au).
