The church regularly hosts major college events, such as an annual presentation on church-related topics and other creative arts events or concerts. Keynote speakers at the presentation have been Fritz Guy at the 13–15 September 2002 conference, "Being Adventist in 21st Century Australia" (papers available online), Bill Johnsson in the 22–24 August 2003 conference, "Hebrews for Aussies in Century 21", Alden Thompson in 2004, and Kendra Haloviak in 2005. The 2006 conference included Andrews University president Niels-Erik Andreasen as a presenter. It was initiated by the "Membership and Relational Issues Committee" which formed in 2001. The annual Avondale College Murdoch Lecture started in 1997.
