We are currently planning to host LIFE Conference 2021 live and in-person at LIFE Central, Mt Eden Auckland, 28-30 April 2021. Due to border closures, our line-up of international guest communicators will now be appearing on the screen via video. However, our New Zealand speakers will still be live and in-person across the main sessions and masterclasses. The safety of our delegates and staff is a priority for us and we will continue to follow New Zealand Government health advice based on the Alert Levels at the time. Should we need to adjust any aspect of LIFE Conference in response to public health measures we will communicate this clearly with delegates at the time.
If you did not get your registration refunded or donate it, it was transferred to LC21. To confirm this please email lifeconference@lifenz.org

All our conference sessions are parent friendly. That's why we have a designated lounge specifically for mums with bubs under 12 months of age. A live video link and baby-friendly facilities means that parents can participate in the sessions while looking after baby's needs.
Our Adventure Kids Conference (for ages 1-10) is held onsite at LIFE Central, 25 Normanby Road, Mt Eden in our kids facilities. Our friendly team onsite will be able to direct you where to sign in your child upon your arrival.
Our Epic Conference is being held at Auckland Grammar School which is located a short walk away from 25 Normanby Road, our LIFE Central facilities where the main conference is being hosted. Your young person will need to check in and check out of Epic Conference at our marquee located on the field at the end of the Auckland Grammar Hockey Turf. Once they have checked in using their Epic Conference lanyard, our team will direct them up the hill along a marked out path to Auckland Grammar where our conference is being held. Our team of leaders will be stationed along the path to ensure safety as they walk up to conference. Your young person will then return to this marquee for the lunch break, after the last afternoon session where there is a three hour break and after the night session has finished. When returning from a break, youth will need to check into the Epic Conference registration marquee again before heading up to Auckland Grammar.
Unfortunately, we are only able to cater to children aged 1-10 at our Adventure Kids Conference. 11-year olds will need to register for our youth focused Epic Conference.
Due to our child protection policy, we are unable to have any delegates for Epic Conference that are 18+, with the exception of leaders at LIFE who have been signed off by our leadership team and have completed a vetting requirement. We recommend the main LIFE Conference for anyone 18+
Upon first arrival, you will need to collect your Epic Conference registration at the main registration tent located at LIFE Central. Then head to the youth check in tent located at Auckland Grammar Hockey Turf which is where youth will need to check in and out each day for the duration of conference.
Food is not included in the registration price; however, it will be available to purchase onsite at one of our vendors. Alternatively, youth & child delegates can bring packed lunch with them each day.
Our Epic Conference programme will consist of multiple sessions involving praise and worship, relevant and entertaining speakers, special items and tribe challenges. All sessions will be held at our Epic Conference venue, with our Epic team (including security) to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment throughout the conference. We may have opportunities throughout our services that allow young people to respond to various altar calls and prayer needs. As a team, we are not trained or qualified counsellors, and recommend if there are ongoing life controlling issues that they are passed into the care of a professional counsellor.
In line with our Child Protection Policy, we require a parent/caregiver to remain on site at LIFE Conference at all times, for your child to be part of Adventure Kids Conference.
