Bring an injection of faith and practical insights to equip you in your ministry
Go
Down the road and around the globe
Jesus calls us to ‘Go’—and whether that’s across the globe or right down the street, there are people waiting to hear the truth and experience transformative love.
Join us for our Go Stream! We’ll share incredible stories of those who have stepped out in faith and witnessed the miraculous hand of God. You’ll also discover practical ways to ignite passion for the Great Commission in your church and your own life.
Together, let’s answer the call. Are you ready to Go?

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Is there a church in you?

Explore how you can pioneer a life-giving church plant, multisite, or multiplying church as part of your God-appointed future and ACC’s bold vision for church planting.

Next
Raising leaders for the future.
The generations of today are the future leaders of tomorrow – leaders in churches, influencers in the marketplace, decision-makers in our communities, in our nation and across the globe.
It is important to understand the transitions of leadership from generation to generation; that we equip, resource and strengthen the next generation in their faith. The emerging generations have greater access to influence and information than ever before; yet they also face greater challenges to their faith.
Join the Next Stream to share the intel and insights, to resource and network anyone involved in ministries for raising and releasing the future generations to stand strong in their faith.

Grow
Stronger disciples of Jesus
Jesus never asked anyone to be a Christian – He called us to be His disciples and to follow Him.
Discipleship in the New Testament was never a solitary journey but a group activity. A healthy church will have healthy, nurturing discipleship at the heart of its culture. In the Grow Stream we will look at some of the practical tools and processes around the subject of discipleship, and how it improves your engagement with your community. Joining us will be Aussie leaders who share their insights into discipleship and growth.
