Seek the Spiritual Renewal of Inner Northern Melbourne

Our aim is that by 2013:

  • There will be 5 congregations reaching urban families in the inner north of Melbourne; 25% of the members will have become Christians during this 5-year period

  • Our vibrant, indigenous, transforming Estates church will grow and incorporate Horn of Africa fellowships, with a multi-cultural leadership team, including 3 local church-planters / evangelists

  • Urban Workers Sunday service at '5' will grow its outreach to the workplace

  • 1,000 local students will be attending weekly, Bible-based ministries

  • 2,000 international students will be contacted, leading to 500 in regular attendance at programs, and at least 100 new Christians

Seek the Spiritual Renewal of wider Melbourne

We aim to exercise a city-wide influence in Melbourne by sending out 15 ordinands and other vocational ministry workers into the Melbourne Diocese in the next 5 years

We aim to make an impact in the world by:

  • developing a focus on cross-cultural mission in 2 or 3 specific regions
