Evangelism / Mission
As followers of Christ we are commanded by Jesus to go and make disciples, baptising and teaching them how to obey God. As churches we have a number of support agencies that help churches fulfil God’s desire for his churches.

Handbook
A yearly handbook is produced providing details on local churches and para church ministries. The handbook has a number of helps for churches including a list of itinerant teachers for each State. This is a great resource for churches who are small and are looking for help to populate their teaching program for the year. If you would like additional copies of the handbook or would like to update your information please email info@cccaust.com.au
Camping
A recent study undertaken by McCrindle Research shows that camping has a significant impact in winning people to Christ. It also has an impact in helping people grow in Christ. Young people who attend as helpers develop leadership skills and go on to be effective in church leadership. Our camping programs around Australia allow churches who get involved to have a significant impact in peoples lives. Check out the opportunities for your church to develop your youth and the send children from your community to our Christian Camps.
