An Intercultural church is a church that accepts, supports and celebrates each cultural group. It intentionally encourages all cultural groups to engage in intercultural relationships and share in leadership, mission and ministry.

An Intercultural church builds on the idea that Australian society and the Church’s membership are multicultural, and it calls on all members, especially those of the dominant culture to be prepared to live and act cross-culturally.

We understand intercultural to encompass:

• bringing people of different cultures together to learn from one another, and to partner in mission and ministry
• giving equal value and power to each culture
• respecting differences
• celebrating the variety of cultural traditions
