What would your church look like if it reflected the cultural diversity of your local community?

The latest census* has confirmed that Australia is an increasingly diverse country.

Nearly half of all Australians have a parent that was born overseas
About one-quarter of Australians use a language other than English at home
Almost one-third of Australians were born overseas
Australia’s South Asian population has increased by 145% or 220k from 2016 to 2021

So, what will your community look like in 10 years?

We want to see the kingdom of God reflected in dynamic, faithful, multiethnic churches that are serving in Australia and around the world. Church leaders today face the challenge of equipping their churches to reach out interculturally.

We want to partner with you as you fulfil your call to local and global discipleship. 

Interserve can walk alongside you and your church to progress your goals to connect across cultures in your community.

  • Learn how to disciple and be discipled, and how to grow as a multiethnic church.
  • Jesus commanded us in Matthew 28:18-20 to go make disciples of all nations. Come be part of this exciting, increasing reality.

We can offer resources and training:

We can offer customised training to suit your church’s situation, experience and needs. We also have a wealth of existing resources including:

  • Changing Lanes, Crossing Cultures
    A resource equipping leaders and churches in planning for local intercultural ministry
  • CHAT
    A program on intercultural understanding for children and young people
  • Connecting Across Cultures
    A learning community for adults wanting to grow in intercultural skills

I was so impressed to see a room of over 40 people actively listening, engaging and leaning forward in their seats to learn more about Cross Cultural Ministry from Miriam throughout the 3 hour training. She not only presented from a sound theological perspective but had a well rounded balance to her experience and lived experiences she shared. I have had nothing but positive feedback from the training provided! Well done Miriam and Interserve!
