ÅVM STABEN
BERØRT 2026 is a weekend conference for those who long for more – more of God, more life, more meaning.
In the midst of studies, work, relationships, and a fast pace of life, we create space to pause and seek God again. Together, we will seek the Holy Spirit, listen to His voice, and open ourselves to what He is doing in us and among us.
We believe that the presence of the Holy Spirit is real – and transformative. He reveals Jesus to us. He brings life, joy, courage, and direction. He meets us where we are – and sends us out with hope and love for our city, our friends, and our world. He equips us with gifts, abilities, and a calling to serve others.
At BERØRT, you can expect:
-
Accessible worship – honest and authentic
-
Teaching that connects faith with real life
-
Prayer and intercession
-
Time and space for community, reflection, and encounters with God
-
This is not a conference where you have to perform.
It is a space where you can be touched.
Come as you are.
Come with your questions, your longing – or your curiosity.
Come and see what the Holy Spirit will do in you.

Main Speakers
Kath Johnson &
Laura Gallacher (New Wine, England)
We are so excited to welcome Kath Johnson and Laura Gallacher as main speakers at BERØRT 2026. Two strong, thoughtful and passionate women from New Wine England – our sister movement – both deeply committed to a faith that is alive, honest, and filled with the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.

Together with her husband, Rich Johnson, she helps lead All Saints Worcester, where Rich serves as vicar.
Kath carries a deep and contagious passion for the presence of the Holy Spirit – not as something abstract or distant, but as God’s real and transforming power in everyday life. She speaks with honesty, clarity and faith, holding a strong conviction that God transforms people, communities, and society.
She is known for her warmth, her engagement, and her ability to connect theology, faith and everyday life.

Seminar og workshops
Workshop:
Touched & sent
Teaching and street outreach with David Munch and Anders Due Kristensen
Come join a hands-on workshop where, through inspiring teaching, shared prayer, and practical exercises, we explore together how God’s presence in our lives can flow out to others. We will practice being carriers of God’s overflowing love—out into the streets of the city and into encounters with the people we meet along the way.
This workshop is for those who long for more of God and who want to be equipped to share His love with boldness, kindness, and power.
kl.13-17



Seminar:
Lutheran Tradition and Charismatic Renewal
With Keld Dahlmann
A seminar offering a dynamic insight into how the theology of Dansk Oase connects with the charismatic Lutheran tradition. Together, we will explore how these two streams enrich one another, creating space for both renewal, rootedness, and the work of the Spirit in the church.
kl.13-14:30

Seminar:
“From church service to Everyday Life – The Movement of the Spirit in Both Spaces”
With Leif Petterson
We will dive into both personal spiritual practices and the work of the Holy Spirit within the acts and sacraments of worship. Here, we explore how the Spirit shapes us—from the quiet encounter with God to the shared space where we are sent out into the world.
“From Worship to Everyday Life – The Movement of the Spirit in Both Spaces” will be a session that both challenges, inspires, and awakens a deeper longing.
kl.13-14:30

Seminar:
Enneagram and spiritual growth
With Ellie Joy Bettinson
English: This is a seminar for those of you who are curious about your personality type and want to explore how it shapes your relationship with God. Ellie qualified as an Enneagram Professional with Enneagram Training UK and has extensive experience training leaders and coaching individuals in how the Enneagram can strengthen spiritual life.
Come and hear how it can help you on your spiritual journey! Ellie is married to Tom, and together they have 3 girls. They moved to Denmark from England in 2025 and have been in AAVM since the moment they arrived.
Note: This seminar will be held in English.
kl.13-14:30
Workshop:
Lovsang med Arvid Asmussen
Til denne workshop bliver der ikke undervist og snakket en masse, men der gives god tid til tilbedelse, reflektion og tid med Gud, ledt af Arvid Asmussen. Arvid er præst og lovsangsleder i Silkeborg Oasekirke og har gennem de seneste 20 år været engageret i – og en markant del af – lovsangsmiljøet i Danmark.
kl.13-14:30


Afternoon activities
On Saturday afternoon, we create space for rest, reflection, and community. You can choose between several different activities, each designed in its own way to help you process the impressions of the day.
Please note that the activities overlap, so it won’t be possible to attend them all.
Pilgrimage Walk
With Frank Lund
Frank Lund, who works as a deacon and carpenter, will lead a pilgrimage walk during Berørt.
Frank shares about the pilgrimage walk:
“We live further removed from nature today than in earlier times. Many people now experience nature as a healing and calming ‘space,’ and for Christians, it has for thousands of years been a spiritual path—to move through God’s creation and seek Him in His great ‘cathedral.’
A pilgrimage walk is a movement, a training in attentiveness, with a focus on recognizing that we are moving within a creation we did not place ourselves in, but are a part of. Through this, we can train our awareness to let go of the noise of the world and ‘tune in’ to God’s presence. Here, together, we can sense nature, find stillness, and seek God’s presence in the open air.”
Along the way, Frank will guide a few spiritual exercises and ensure a rhythm between silence and conversation.
kl.15-18


Q/A with the pastor
With Hans-Christian Vindum Pettersson
The pastor will be available for your questions.
There is space to talk about the difficult things: faith, the Bible, spiritual experiences—or the absence of them.
You are welcome to ask your own questions or simply listen.
kl.15-16
Outreach in Aarhus
with David Munch, Anders Due, Josva Priss Madsen
This is the second part of the seminar Touched and Sent, but everyone is welcome.
We meet in the café area and go together to Lille Torv in the pedestrian street, where we share coffee, cookies, and God’s love with people in Aarhus.
kl.15-17


Games café
with Johannes Axelsen og Eva Maria Lerdorf
In the café, there will be a variety of games you can join.
It’s a relaxed opportunity to meet new people, recharge, and enjoy a piece of cake in good company.
kl.15-18

Food & Drink
During the conference, there will be opportunities to grab a light bite at Café Åndbar, where you can also purchase drinks.
We want to make it possible for everyone to participate, so you can choose to add dinner on Friday and/or lunch on Saturday when you register for the event.
On Saturday evening, it will not be possible to buy food at the conference this year. Instead, we invite you to bring your own meal and enjoy it together with the other participants. Alternatively, there are good options for groceries and take-away within a 5–10 minute walk from the church.
sidste tilmelding: 13 april.
