Many pastors and ministry leaders are not simply battling workload. They are carrying discouragement, fatigue, isolation and the quiet erosion of joy – a slow drift that can be hard to name, and harder to address.
Ministry can wear you down in ways that are hard to talk about. That is why our one-day special Oxygen event has been designed as a smaller, more intimate scaled event, to give you practical encouragement for long-term faithfulness.
Here are 5 reasons to attend:
1. Renew your perspective on the purpose and privilege of ministry
While our event theme will recognise the growing reality and challenges of ministry, sessions will draw our attention to focus on the privileges of ministry: there are seasons when all of us need reminding that we have the best job in the world.
2. Recover the joy that has been eroded by pressure
Our sessions will provide theological depth and practical wisdom for enduring pressure without losing heart, so you can come away with practical tools for sustaining joy under pressure.
3. Feel less isolated in the real challenges of leadership
Through teaching and shared experience, we hope to create a space for you to have honest reflection, so you feel personally encouraged and less alone in ministry struggles.
4. Gain practical, biblical tools for enduring well over the long haul
Our speaker Matt Fuller brings years of pastoral experience, biblical depth, and practical wisdom to the realities of ministry leadership today. Dwelling on 1 Peter, he will be sharing his own experiences on the sorrow and joys of ministry.
5. Connect with other ministry leaders who understand your world
Ministering with Joy is for men and women serving in paid or voluntary ministry roles — in local churches, on campuses, chaplaincy and in ministry organisations.

Ministering with Joy is a focused, one-day gathering designed to strengthen weary leaders with a deeper vision of the privileges of being an under-Shepherd of the Lord Jesus.
This is not a conference about strategies or systems. It is a day of teaching, honest conversation, and practical encouragement for those who want to endure well, and rediscover the deep joy that belongs to this calling.
