Empower Conference 26
Life City is celebrating 25 years since its very first gathering in 2001—a milestone that reflects God’s faithfulness through every season. Over the years, we’ve seen lives transformed, people set free, hearts healed, and many established in a strong and lasting faith. Life City has grown into a community that inspires people to truly know God and to live lives that reflect the character of Christ in everyday life.
Empower Conference is rooted in our 2026 theme, “Empowered to Expand,” inspired by 1 Chronicles 4:9–10—the Prayer of Jabez. This is more than a theme; it’s an invitation to recognise that God empowers His people by His Spirit—not just for personal growth, but so that His Kingdom can expand through us into the world around us.
We would love you to join us for this special time of encounter. Come expectant, come open, and come ready to be empowered as God moves among us.
