Being connected to God and to community empowers us to enjoy a life worth living!
We thrive when we live this life connected with others. You were never meant to do this life alone.
Isolation destroys connection. Why do we allow busyness, shame, or selfish pursuits to prevent us from the connections that really count? To become isolated, we literally have to do nothing. However, connection requires living out proactive, intentional decisions. Connection is action!
Relationships may not always be easy, but they are so worth it. We all need encouragement and skills to navigate key relationships well, whether with our spouse, our children, our mates, our community.
Come along to PK and gain encouragement and skills to grow healthy connections with great people.
Get connected to community at PK2021!

Christchurch Elective Speakers and Topics
Elective Options Session 1: 11am - 12noon.
4 F Words That Can Help Your Life - Aaron Ironside - Keynote Speaker, Counsellor and Communicator.
Tools to help identify and manage stress and burnout. This is a timely message as Aaron points out burnout signs are reportedly 33% higher in the last 12 months and 31% of workers are close to burnout. (Glint survey and AUT study.)
Stepping into the Presence of God - Peter Goulter - Author, prayer leader and PK Board Member.
Reflective time in God’s presence with activities to help you connect with God. Opportunity for prayer ministry. There is no better place to be than in His presence. If you struggle to find His presence, or desire to seek more of His presence in your life, then maybe this is an elective for you.
Porn - The Journey Back to Reality (new time slot) - Paul Monahan - PKNZ National Director and Set Free leader. With Bill Stringer - Set Free group leader.
In a fantasy-soaked industry its sometimes difficult to get back into reality, but it can be done, find out how. Pornography is a considerable barrier to us remaining connected to others in our marriage, our families and in our workspace. When our fantasy life begins to dominate, our connection with reality and others can be seriously challenged.
How Evolution Hurts Science and People - Mike Collins - Creation Ministries presenter
See how thinking Biblically helps us to better interpret the world and care for its inhabitants.
Elective Options Session 2: 1pm - 2pm.
Exploring the Greater and Deeper Meaning of Worship - Grant Norsworthy - Grammy nominated musician and producer of “The Blessing | Aotearoa/NZ”.
Worship is broader than you may think. Within contemporary Christian culture, we can so easily speak and think of “worship” – whether consciously or subconsciously – as merely the music in our church gatherings. Yet we know that worship is much more. Even for those who might freely state that “worship is a lifestyle”, Grant’s potent presentation on the true meaning of worship is sure to challenge.
How Do We Help and Support People Who Are Grieving? (new time slot) - Michael Hempseed - Mental health author and TEDx speaker.
Helping support you and your friends through grief and loss.
Another Look at the Prophetic - Luka Robertson - Keynote Speaker and Senior Leader at Hope NZ.
Hearing from God and sharing it with others.
Keys to Authentic Connections - Psychologist Bev Monahan.
What does authentic connection look like in your friendships and relationships?
