Church to Church

ABM’s Church to Church projects support local churches as they respond to the call of love, hope and justice in their own context.

Within Australia ABM is partnering with Dioceses to strengthen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ministry and supporting initiatives that give Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people greater autonomy in mission.

ABM’s Church to Church Program also works together with overseas partners to strengthen church institutions through quality theological formation and training.
