Partner with us to plant churches around Australia

Every church started as a church plant. Every church started with generosity. Teams of people praying, giving time, finances and effort, sharing wisdom - to see that community won for Christ.

What would it look like for you to partner with those launching and leading a new church?

We invite you to pray and think about how you can partner with church planters today.

What could you give?

It takes ~8yrs to prepare, launch and lead a church to viability

Not everyone can launch and lead a new church. It takes deep gospel conviction to reach people in a new area, fervent trust in God, creativity, courage and entrepreneurial vision.

But it's worth it. New churches are five times more likely to reach people who don't yet follow Jesus or haven't been to church in years.

We want to prepare our church planters well. An average of only 45% new churches reach viability to survive long term. Within our network, that increases to 80%.

We're aiming to help plant 300 new churches by 2030. To date, we’ve helped launch 166 new churches.

We thank God for his work through us and for those who generously partner with us in prayer, time, wisdom and finances to help see more churches reaching more people for Christ.

Will you help step into this space?

The biggest gap we have for equipping church planters is financial. We provide all of our training, coaching and resources for church planters at no cost to them, because it is generously provided by those who want to see more churches planted. It's a real tangible blessing for them, in an incredibly intense season.

If you want to bless church planters and help see more new churches reaching more new people for Christ, please pray and give today.

Would you be willing to join a church plant?

The harvest is plentiful and the workers are few. We're always praying and looking for people who are suitable and interested in church planting or joining a church planting team. The starting point is to take the Church Planter Questionnaire. If you're interested, you can find out more and complete the questionnaire here.

We look forward to hearing more from you!

“The planting support you get through Reach Australia has been amazing. It’s a network of planters who have done it, who understand the difficulties. The coaching we’ve had access to has been fantastic. My coach has been really strategic and we talk a lot about what to prepare for. My wife’s coach has been wonderful emotional support for her. You can’t put a price on that. It’s been awesome."

We want to see more growth and change across Australian Christianity

We pray that transformative leadership development will lead to doubling the number of Reformed evangelical Christians in Australia by 2035. In a church of 100 people, that would look like five people joining each year. This is an urgent and important shared task given Australian churches are currently in decline.
