About Us

Connecting you with Christ

We exist to serve, support, and strengthen an increasing network of evangelical churches across Western Australia to serve God and impact their communities for Christ.

The Christian Community Churches of Western Australia is a State network of independent evangelical churches across WA. We are part of a national and worldwide network of like-minded churches who share a common Open Christian Brethren heritage. When you come to one of our churches, you will find a group of people who focus on:

  1. putting the Lord Jesus Christ at the centre of our relationship with God, our relationships with each other, and our relationship with the community;
  2. every person in the church having a strong understanding of God’s Word, the Bible and how it applies to our everyday lives; and
  3. every person in the church being involved in ministry in a way that properly utilises their God-given talents and gifts.

When you see our logo on a local church website or stationery you will know that they are part of our network. They share our beliefs and our focus on real relationships based on a real relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. We place a strong emphasis on real friendships with each other as we demonstrate to Western Australian families the love that God has for them in sending His Son the Lord Jesus Christ to die in their place so that they may go free!
