“Helping birth and nurture the Missional Church .”

We aim to achieve this by:

• By creating environments where the missional imagination of God’s people is awakened, nurtured and developed.
• By focusing on training for a distinctly pioneering type of ministry and leadership
• By stimulating a distinctive missional understanding and approach to church
• By coordinating an energetic network of pioneering leaders and practitioners focused on the task of mission
• By developing and operating internship style training in various population zones across Australia
• By offering ongoing support and consultations to partnering denominations and other para-church agencies on issues relating to pioneering mission in Australia
• By developing resources to help raise awareness of issues relating to missions-to-the-west
