Australian churches are changing too. 

In a busy and frenetic world, Christians are rediscovering how to connect with local communities and social networks, often with surprising results.

So what is a fresh expression of church?  The are forms of church adapted to a changing culture and tailored to the needs of non-church people.  They are places where people who don't care about church-going can find community and discover Jesus together. 

Fresh expressions of church don't wait for people to walk in through the door. Nor are they special one off events or a route into 'real' church.  They are intentional communities that become church for their members by gathering around Jesus, proclaiming God's Kingdom, growing new Jesus-followers, responding to needs, challenging injustice and making the world a better place.

To help Australians rethink their approaches, the Anglican Church produced the brochure, Time to Grow: Doing Church Differently.  A sample is now available online.  If you'd like some copies, contact Wayne Brighton for more information.
