Tabor College’s Spirit Life Conference 2026
Growing Intimacy with God
What does it mean to grow in intimacy with God? Spirit Life Conference 2026 invites you to explore this question through inspiring teaching, Spirit-filled worship, and meaningful connection with others pursuing a deeper walk with Christ.
Across two inspiring days of worship, teaching, and fellowship, we will explore how a closer walk with God transforms every area of our lives. Whether you are seeking greater depth in your prayer life, longing to hear God’s voice more clearly, or simply wanting to draw nearer to Him, this conference is designed to encourage, refresh, and equip you.
This year’s theme, “Growing Intimacy with God,” invites us to move beyond knowing about God and into a deeper experience of His presence, love, and leading. Through powerful teaching, Spirit-filled worship, and meaningful connection with other believers, you’ll be challenged and encouraged in your journey of faith.
Guest Speakers
We are delighted to welcome two outstanding speakers:
Mark Conner – Author, Speaker, and Leader
Melinda Dwight – Communicator & Visionary Leader
Building on the rich heritage of Spirit-filled gatherings that have impacted South Australia for decades, Spirit Life Conference continues to create space for believers to encounter God, be renewed by His Spirit, and grow together in faith.
