We invite you to join us for the 22nd annual Queensland Reformed Baptist Family Conference (sponsored by Berean Bible Church). It promises to be a weekend of spiritual blessing, through the preaching of God’s Word and fellowship of God’s people.

The 2023 Family Conference is located at the beautiful Mapleton Centre, in the hinterland of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Mapleton is situated just 110kms north of Brisbane. The Centre is surrounded by rainforest and equipped with comfortable accommodation for families and individuals. Facilities include: playground and open fields, swimming pools and water slides, canoes, bushwalking tracks and a nature display, tennis court and more.

Classes and activities for children will run during the morning sessions on Saturday and an area for those with little ones will be available as required.

Reserve your place at Mapleton by registering today and ensure you bring bedding (only mattresses supplied), personal items, warm clothes, insect repellent, Bible, notebook and a hungry heart.
