partnering with local churches
Local Church Ministries
Helping churches across Australia build dynamic student ministries that make disciples who make disciples.
“You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”
2 Timothy 2:1–2
The mission
The Lord called us to make disciples who make disciples: every teen, everywhere, growing in their walk with Christ.
The vision
To serve local churches in developing ministries that multiply disciples of Jesus.
Three ministry goals
Gospel advancing
Train your Christian students to reach their friends through personal evangelism, so every student, everywhere, can hear the Gospel from a friend.
Spiritual growth
Guide your students to build the habit of listening to God through daily Bible reading, application and prayer.
Disciple making
Mobilise your students to multiply themselves by encouraging their friends in Gospel conversations and spiritual growth.

Ivan Alegría
The Apostle Paul encourages young Timothy to let no one despise him for his youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity (1 Timothy 4:12).
Our desire is to be able to serve and support youth leaders in the wonderful task of making disciples who make disciples. We are convinced that God wants to use today’s Christian youth to impact their generation with the Gospel of Christ, which is why we are committed to training and encouraging youth leaders to make an impact in their own communities.

The need
Ensuring young people are equipped and empowered to serve in the church is vital for the sustainability of the church. This requires relevant training and engagement strategies such as mentoring programs, apprenticeship pathways and leadership development infrastructure.
