Believing to Multiply

Western Australia (WA) has emerged from some of the world’s harshest border restrictions. While ACC churches were adversely impacted by Covid restrictions, churches are gradually starting to recover with testimonies of people responding to the Gospel for the first time and finding family in local churches across the state.

WA Stats

Against the backdrop of Covid uncertainty, statistics in the 2021-2022 period show:

• 7 new church/campus plants

• 74 credentials were awarded

• 10% higher State Conference attendance (1,316 in 2022 from 1,196 in 2021)

We have 255 ACC credentialled pastors and 78 ACC churches/campuses in WA.

Conferences & Events

In 2022 our prophetically-themed “Multiply, Multiply, Multiply” Conference included well-attended sessions for church planting, community engagement, chaplaincy professional development, an Alpha workshop, and a land and buildings forum.

Our state leadership meetings are now hosted by different churches around Perth to showcase the amazing venues God has blessed our movement with. These gatherings have become increasingly valuable to provide impartation, training and development for existing pastors, and to inspire a new generation of emerging leaders. We’ve also continued to develop pastors through Pastors’ Intensives and Marriage Celebrant training courses.

Our annual gathering of senior and campus pastors over a dinner event continues to solidify our movement.

In WA, we are blessed to have an annual ACCWA Women’s Conference where we see almost 500 women gather for an incredible time of encouragement.

Together, our Youth Alive WA and ACC Kids WA ministries are providing support for the leadership of the next generation through connects and leadership training. In addition, these ministries continue to serve young people throughout WA through many relevant community events.

The Western Australian Executive are grateful for the visionary leadership of the National Team. We are so thankful for what God is doing in our nation.
