Mission
We will be a network of churches that have the Great Commission; Jesus’ last command as our first priority.
Church Planting
Only 1% of Australian Churches are planting a new church per annum.
This is not enough!
We are a network which wants to take seriously the missional practice of being sent.
We want to encourage our churches to be churches that plant churches that plant churches.
This means being open to all kinds of expressions of church. Within A2A there is no one size fits all.
To help facilitate churches become church planting churches we:
- Encourage churches to engage with the Exponential tribe.
- Assist churches with the Assessment of potential church planters.
- Assist the sending church and the church planter with a road map.
- Assist in helping churches and church planters find the capital needed to kickstart.
- Provide ongoing coaching to both the sending church and the church plant.
Community Engagement
Part of being missional is the willingness to incarnationally stay in a local community.
We want to encourage the local communities to compassionately love and to be innovative when it comes to community engagement.
Here are some innovative ways our local churches are innovating.
