Whether you're considering or on the cusp of retirement, or even if you have a few years of retirement under your belt, this Prime Time event may be helpful for you. Security, financial or otherwise, is not an unreasonable focus for all of us.
Join us as Geoff Bowden walks us through some facts and figures and explains terms that we may have heard but not understood as he looks at retirement from a number of perspectives. He brings his 15 years of experience in the finance industry and his faith to this presentation. He may even remind us that we really should have listened to our maths teacher.
Afternoon tea is provided as well as time for questions.
Join us as we celebrate how God has used our apprentices over the past year, and pray for the cohort finishing up their program.
Plus, you can meet, support and pray for the next crop of MTS apprentices beginning in 2025!
There will be in-person and live stream options.

There’s loads of wisdom around our church when it comes to being good stewards of finances. Whether you’re just starting out and struggling to budget, or you’re a sole trader, a GP, or you’re managing a portfolio of assets, this will be a night to help you think through various ways to manage and grow your financial literacy.
Electives for :
If you’re new to budgeting, or you’re struggling to work out how to manage money, there are helpful and wise steps you can take. We’ll hear from a Financial Planner about how to start from scratch, make a budget and sort out your money, so you rule it, rather than it rules you.
If you’re a Sole Trader, money can feel like it comes in floods and droughts. So how can Christians manage being generous while also managing the chaos of business. Hear from a specialist Sole Trader Accountant on how to manage and give shrewdly as a Christian.
Did you know there are different ways GPs and Health Providers can setup their finances to best manage tax, giving and reduce the headaches of bookkeeping? Hear how some GPs have brought wisdom to their money setup and how it might work for you.
A small business brings it's own opportunities and hurdles when it comes to being generous and shrewd with money. Hear from an expert accountant who’s helped dozens of Christian business owners approach their setup with generous hearts and shrewd thinking.

We’re planning another unmissable weekend. Come forge new friendships, strengthen existing relationships and deepen your love of God.
Check out our FAQ’s and last year’s timetable below to get an idea of what you’ll get up to!
It’s best to leave your phone at home - you will need to leave it in your bag during most of the camp and won’t be allowed to use it during sessions, seminars, or games.
Bring a Paper Bible and a Pen!
Cabins are for RESTING and SLEEPING - not hanging out, unless a leader gives you permission otherwise.
We know finances are tight for many this year. If the cost is going to be a barrier to your youth coming along please shoot us an email at youth@hunterbiblechurch.org
You can let us know about any special requirements in the relevant section of the rego form.
We’d love for you to come to as much of the weekend as possible but we understand this may not be possible for everyone. Reach out to us at youth@hunterbiblechurch.org to chat about your options.
Going away for a whole weekend with lots of people you don’t know can be scary. If your youth is feeling extra anxious, reach out to us at youth@hunterbiblechurch.org. We’d love to chat about some ways we can support you and your youth to ease some of those anxieties.
We’re expecting over 100 youth to come along to camp this year which is SO exciting but it does mean that logistically it’s too big a task for us to arrange lifts for every youth. If you can’t drive your youth to or from camp we recommend chatting with some other parents to see if they are able to give them a lift. If you’re really struggling to find someone, reach out to us at youth@hunterbiblechurch.org. We’ll work to put you in touch with someone that may be able to help.
