ACC International
The history of Missions in Australia is very rich - from a single mission field in Papua New Guinea, to now where we are operating in over 35 countries. ACCI Missionaries take the Gospel beyond Australian soil with great faith and courage, partnering with local communities and churches to spread the good news of Jesus Christ.
ACCI missionaries are achieving incredible things on the ground in areas such as community outreach, education, health and wellbeing and preaching the gospel.

Community Engagement
The ACC are committed to making a difference within our local communities. We don't just want to exist in our building, we want to reach those outside of the church walls.
Here we share stories of churches supporting, empowering and building strong relationships in their local communities, in hopes to inspire and equip others to do the same.
