Our Mission

Bush Church Aid is all about Aid to the Church in the Bush.

Aid through partnering with Anglican Dioceses and other Christian organisations to provide biblical gospel ministry focused on the life-changing message of Jesus.
Aid through sending workers to rural, regional, and remote parts of Australia to share this gospel with people no matter where they live.
Aid through supporting these bush locations in prayer from countless supporters across Australia.
Aid through providing a network of experienced clergy and volunteers to pastorally care for these gospel workers and their families.
You could say that our heart beats faster for sharing Jesus with the bush!

Vision
