A Vision For The Future
On the 22nd June 2002, we celebrated 25 years of mission and ministry in the Australian community. There is so much to give thanks for and to be excited about.

As we celebrate it is also important to reflect on the challenges that lie ahead. According to national census data, more than one million Australians align themselves with our church. While millions more connect with other churches, there are many people who do not align themselves with any church. These two factors present us with a great challenge.

Even in the seemingly short space of 25 years, the shape of the Australian way of life has changed dramatically. The vast nature of this change beckons us to emerge with a renewed vision for the future, one that will show us how we might participate with God in bringing transformation in the lives of people who live in the very different world of the third millennium.
