Australia Southern District



Rev. Ian & Jenny Davidson

Welcome to the Australia Southern District. There are currently 12 churches and 2 church plants on the district. There are no active churches in Tasmania.

The District is divided into three zones (New South Wales, Victoria / Tasmania, and South Australia) with a coordinator for each zone. The church reflects a multi-cultural context by having several language specific congregations i.e. Greek, Armenian, Samoan, Korean and English. Most churches reflect a multicultural mix and visitors from every ethnic, racial and religious background are always welcome.

 

Our Vision: To be an effective holiness witness that will build the Church of the Nazarene into a contemporary, relevant, growing expression of the Body of Christ.

 

What we value:

  1. Assisting all people into a love relationship with God and other people through Jesus Christ
  2. Enabling people to live a satisfying and complete life through holiness preaching and teaching
  3. Developing all our people into effective ministers for Jesus Christ
    Professional leadership development in our God-called ministry
  4. Teamwork – bringing together the gifts and passions of the church in unity of focus in mission
  5. Missions – actively going and supporting those who go.

 

Our Main Focus

Our main focus is on Jesus Christ. Our aim is to communicate his love, forgiveness and power for living. We believe God wants an abundant and satisfying life for all Australians.

 

Our Ministries

We provide the youth of our church with the opportunity to be involved in ministry teams and participate in national and international trips.  This allows young people to communicate the love of Jesus in tangible ways. Support of the world wide mission endeavours of the church is also a priority. Opportunities are available to be involved in missions around the world through "Work and Witness" trips, prayer and giving. All ages are welcomed into the life of the church.  Specific ministries target needs expressed in various age groups.
