Congregation of Christians in Australia Limited

The Congregation of Christians in Australia Limited is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and advancing the Christian faith through religious services, community meetings, and youth gatherings. This organization operates as a nondenominational and nonsectarian fellowship of local assemblies across Australia.

History

The Congregation of Christians in Australia has its roots in a small group of Italian evangelicals who began meeting in Chicago, USA, in 1904. They sought to follow the teachings of the Bible without denominational affiliations. This movement spread across different countries as similar groups formed, driven by a shared understanding of the Christian faith.

In Australia, the Congregation was formally registered in 2013. The organization grew from a family who started worshiping in their home in the 1980s. Today, it operates in multiple states, including New South Wales (North Sydney and Janali), Victoria (Melbourne), Queensland (Brisbane), Western Australia (Perth and Bunbury), among others.

Mission and Activities

The Congregation is focused on teaching and promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ, adhering to the apostolic doctrine found in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. Activities include:

• Religious Services: Regular worship meetings for the community.
• Family Meetings: Gatherings aimed at strengthening family bonds and faith.
• Youth and Children's Ministries: Programs designed to engage and educate young people in Christian values and teachings.

Governance and Structure

The Congregation operates as a registered charity in Australia, with a legal entity to manage its properties and meetings. It maintains a simple, non-formal structure, emphasizing unity in faith rather than denominational identity.
