WELCOME TO THE CHURCHES OF CHRIST WEBSITE
 
Welcome
Welcome to the Churches of Christ in NSW website.ᅠ Within this site, you will find important links to the ministries, partners and churches who make up the association, family and network of churches known as Churches of Christ.

Churches of Christ have existed in NSW for well over 175 years.ᅠ Our heritage and background has a strong evangelical commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ.ᅠ Our network of over 90 churches is small enough to adapt to the changes taking place within our world, while remaining strategic in focus. ᅠ

We embrace a variety of cultural churches, and offer significant benefits to new churches seeking affiliation and partnership.ᅠ Within this framework, we have traditional churches, large churches, emerging churches, contemporary churches, house churches and a variety of missional communities.ᅠ Our commitment is to ensure that regardless of the 'shape' of the church, that we clearly empower and facilitate the community in effectively engaging Australian's with the life-transforming Christian message.

"Churches of Christ" is a movement/network of churches, specifically structured to empower local churches. Each church is led by local leaders and as such, has the freedom to explore their own vision within their community context. This model creates diversity and flexibility; while still calling our member churches to promote scriptural basics for church life including biblical baptism, the celebration of communion (or the Lord's supper) and the mutual ministry of all God's people.

Churches of Christ in NSW is strategically empowered to bring "Fresh Hope" to our churches, ministries and communities.ᅠ We intentionally structure our key ministries around four functional areas to assist our delivery of ministry and our outcomes for Kingdom Impact.

Our story encompasses a strong commitment to leadership development and service.ᅠ We believe that the church is a God designed community engaged in the restoration and redemption of our world.ᅠ Staff within Churches of Christ are constantly reviewing our practices within a framework of continuous improvement to 'value add' services to our churches, camping experiences, nursing homes, welfare partnerships and ministries.

We invite you to join us in a journey of partnership as together we seek to serve into God's purposes across this great nation.
