Speakers

Dr Daniel Pampuch

Daniel is the serving CEO of Christian Schools Australia and has more than 25 years experience in Christian Schooling. His roles spans political advocacy, governance, strategic planning, resource development and service provision. His passion is to assist schools to maintain their Christian distinctive and missional focus as well as to guide them on pathways to further maturity as ministries and centres of educational excellence.

Steve McApline

Steve McApline has a background in journalism and three decades experience pastoring and planting churches. He has spent most of his life in Western Australia, but is originally from Northern Ireland, emigrating back in the 1970s. A love of reading and writing has been with him since he can remember. Even as he has pastored churches and shared the gospel over the years, he saw the need for Christian communities to better engage the changing world they lived in. Starting with a blog, then moving to books and speaking engagements, Stephen’s life looks a little different to what it was when leading a church. But his aim is the same: to see God’s people flourish in a constantly changing culture. And to ensure that, as he lives within Christian community, his own faith flourishes too.
