If we want to see Australia reached for Christ, we need all hands on deck, both women and men, fully mobilised and equipped for leadership. Women face unique challenges in their roles. Will you partner with us to support women as they seek first the kingdom in their ministry?
If we want to see Australia reached for Christ, we need all hands on deck, both women and men, fully mobilised and equipped for leadership. Women face unique challenges in their roles. Will you partner with us to support them?
We have 3 key outcomes we’re working towards:
God uses his people to provide for his kingdom work.
We thank God for you, in your faithful and generous partnership. We’re working and praying with you to see more women raised up and more people in a saving relationship with Jesus.
By giving, you provide training, coaching, and resourcing for women in ministry. To properly express God’s design for men and women, we need their voices included across levels of leadership in churches. Your generosity helps men and women in church teams work together better so that women can be mobilised in ministry to work, serve and lead in their churches. With your help, we can see more joyful and valued female leaders in churches across the country. Will you give today?

Healthy churches need healthy teams. We’ve launched a two-year Team Development Program for men and women in leadership roles in churches. Our focus is on building healthy teams and developing effective church leaders, as we see whole church teams working together to make mature disciples of Jesus in increasing numbers. The program combines cohort intensives, coaching, and a proven curriculum.
We’ve regularly heard from women in ministry that they would benefit from a mentor or coach, and how important support is for their well-being in ministry. So we started building a national women’s coaching network. This monthly one-on-one coaching is for women in church leadership roles to reflect, have accountability and grow. In 2023 we had six female coach graduates, with a further 27 women currently in the pipeline.
Drawing on the godly wisdom from Christian women in and around ministry, this podcast draws together voices from around Australia as they discuss some key challenges women in ministry face in churches today. This podcast series aims to help provide practical, biblical and faithful advice, tools and support from women and for women in leadership in churches. It also provides models of women in a variety of roles to help others to see the breadth of opportunities available.
It has been said that, generally, the most significant human factor in the sustainability of a pastor’s ministry is their spouse. Many women come to the role of pastor’s wife with great hesitations, challenges, questions and struggle with imposter syndrome. However, for women married to the pastor there are unique opportunities as well as unique challenges. In considering their work, family and ministry through times away together, we want pastor’s wives to appreciate their God-given role and know how to make the most of where God has placed them.
