Vision and Challenge

From its inception we have been motivated by Ephesians
4:11-12,

“He is the one who gave these gifts to the church: the apostles
the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.
Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and
build up the church, the body of Christ.” 

This passage of Scripture inspired the slogan, “building lives
and transforming communities”, which summarises the
mission and vision of Apostolic Church Australia.

As a movement we are passionate about seeing individual lives
connecting with Christ, be empowered by the Holy Spirit,
equipped to fulfil their God given purpose and released in
mission for the glory of God. As each local Apostolic Church
stays committed to equipping and releasing, there will be no
end to the number of lives that will be built and the number of
communities that will be transformed in Australia and beyond.

The words “building lives” encapsulate so many of the activities
of our churches; from worship services to training courses,
whilst the words “transforming communities” denotes the
church’s involvement in outreach locally and globally.

Our National Leadership Team (NLT) oversees national
initiatives that empower local churches in their endeavours to
build lives and transform communities. Our Ministry Internship
program and Mentoring for Leaders program are examples of
NLT’s commitment to building lives, whilst the Apostolic
Community Care Network and Apostolic Global Operations form
part of our commitment to transform entire communities.

The Apostolic Church Australia is committed to playing a vital
role as a significant part of the Body of Christ in positively
impacting Australia and beyond for Christ.
