Welcome to Cross-Cultural Ministry Events

More than 50 people re-considered their local neighbourhoods as mission fields at the 2023 LCANZ Cross-Cultural Ministry Conference, 'Moving into the neighbourhood', in Melbourne on 5–6 May. Click here for more information and to access the conference report.

Our conferences and events are intended to help us catch a vision for God’s plan for the church, take steps in becoming more welcoming, and receive inspiration and ideas from local churches that are unfolding God’s glorious vision in practical ways.

From our 2021 event series, we are able to provide the following videos for viewing.  We hope they provide you with inspiration and ideas for how you may welcome others to your local congregation.
