ABOUT US

We exist to help people bring hope to the world through mission and relief.

OUR STORY

We’re working to transform communities and nations, one life at a time. 

ACCI is a Christian missions and relief organisation, part of the Australian Christian Churches (ACC) movement. 
 
Our vision is for a world where all people have the opportunity to experience the gospel. In partnership with Australian churches and individuals, we work to see whole life transformation in individuals, families and communities by empowering people to love well. 
 
As a missionary sending agency, we exist to train, support and mobilise Field Workers who are involved in mission’s ministries – like evangelism, church planting and leadership training. We also support, train and mobilise workers for aid and development activities – including disaster relief, poverty alleviation, community empowerment and child-centred development.

WHAT WE OFFER

We work with churches, Field Workers and Partners to provide the practical, pastoral and governance support needed for healthy, sustainable ministry across missions, community development and disaster response. And we advocate for these priorities within the Australian Christian Churches (ACC), facilitating the strategic connections that keep them central to its culture. 

Theological alignment

We ensure that all our workers’ foundational beliefs are sound and in line with our movement’s overarching theology.

Operational integrity

We use funds for the purpose they were given and achieve what we say we’re going to achieve.

Organisational protection

We adhere to all ACNC standards. You can be confident your donation will be used properly and your church will retain its charitable status.

Relational connection

We are part of the larger ACC and global AOG family, which provides ongoing fellowship and relational opportunities.

Ps John & Francine Hunt

ACCI DIRECTORS

“I’m excited about leading ACCI because I believe God has graced our movement to influence the world. Our culture, leadership, structures and approach, combined with our peculiar mix of both pragmatism and idealism, is unique. And we uncompromisingly get the job done. 

 
I’m incredibly thankful for those who have gone before and have laid such a solid foundation. That includes all our current team and our Field Workers and Project Partners, who have displayed remarkable resilience and employed sustainable gifts and talents. I am incredibly excited as we watch God position our movement for this next generational wave of the ACC to hit the planet.”
