But on Monday, July 4, thousands of people from more than 47 countries will come to Hillsong Church\u2019s Hills Campus for a conference that began more than three and a half decades ago with a mandate to champion the cause of the church of Jesus Christ across every nation, denomination, age, and background.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith all the changes in our world and the changes within our own church we have no doubt this will be the most unique conference experience we\u2019ve ever had together,\u201d says Pastor Phil Dooley. \u201cOur focus is simply worship, teaching and community, and a bit of fun along the way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The heart behind the Conference<\/h3>\n<p>The heart of this conference is centered around the church\u2019s mission to champion local churches, be a wellspring for others and to serve the greater body of Christ. This aligns to Hillsong Church\u2019s recently announced vision statement which is <em>\u2018To build a healthy church changing lives through Christ \u2019<\/em>. This year will be hosted by Phil and Lucinda Dooley, Hillsong Church\u2019s Interim Global Senior Pastors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so excited about this year\u2019s Conference, after three years, to gather again in the room, to come together, to worship the name of Jesus\u201d, says Pastor Phil Dooley. \u201cThis year we are proclaiming the year of the Lord\u2019s favour. Favour over your lives, favour over each of your specific circumstances. We are expressing and understanding that in three different ways, freedom, forgiveness and new beginnings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-607 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.hillsong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/06\/30232802\/Dooley-photo-GR-close-up-BW-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.hillsong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/06\/30232802\/Dooley-photo-GR-close-up-BW-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.hillsong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/06\/30232802\/Dooley-photo-GR-close-up-BW-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.hillsong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/06\/30232802\/Dooley-photo-GR-close-up-BW-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.hillsong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/06\/30232802\/Dooley-photo-GR-close-up-BW-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.hillsong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/06\/30232802\/Dooley-photo-GR-close-up-BW-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.hillsong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/06\/30232802\/Dooley-photo-GR-close-up-BW-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cdn.hillsong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/06\/30232802\/Dooley-photo-GR-close-up-BW-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/cdn.hillsong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/06\/30232802\/Dooley-photo-GR-close-up-BW-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.hillsong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2022\/06\/30232802\/Dooley-photo-GR-close-up-BW-1400x934.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Guests include Cash Luna, Mark Varughese and Craig Groeschel<\/h3>\n<p>Guest speakers include Pastor <a href=\"https:\/\/hillsong.com\/contributors\/contributor\/cash-luna\/\">Cash Luna<\/a>, Senior Pastor of<a href=\"https:\/\/casadedios.org\/en\/who-we-are\/\"> Casa de Dios church<\/a> in Guatemala, along with Hillsong Pastor, Chris Mendez, supporting Cash\u2019s message through interpretation.
