what we do
Across Australia there is a spiritual drought
It is a drought of trained workers reaching the spiritually marginalised of our society ... like young adults, the welfare dependent, blue collar workers, and those in rural areas.
The dream of Church Army is to break that drought through three key initiatives.
plant
local mission bases
Local Mission Base is our term for mission shaped, and mission driven church. Local Mission Bases are communities of disciples who see themselves as missionaries to the people of the surrounding area. Mission means building relationships, offering practical service, acting with compassion and sharing the good news of Jesus.
Local mission bases not only introduce unchurched people to Jesus, they also provide a context to develop the next generation of local missionaries from Australia and overseas. Further, Local Mission Bases start new Local Mission Bases to make more disciples in other locations.
