WHO WE SERVE

The Willow Creek Association NZ (WCANZ) was founded in 1994 and works to link like-minded action-oriented churches with each other and with strategic vision, training and resources. We are driven by a calling to serve Christ-following leaders as they build biblically functioning churches - authentic, Acts 2 communities of faith that reach increasing numbers of lost people and grow them into fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. Our goal is to seek out and share God-given breakthroughs with widespread potential from churches around the world, supporting a rapid diffusion of innovation through the local church for the sake of Christ and His Kingdom. The WCANZ is a not-for-profit ministry, with more than 12000 Member Churches from 90 denominations and 45 countries. These churches and others we serve, represent a wide variety of sizes denominations and backgrounds and are ministering in literally every corner of the world.

While pursuing their own unique God-given vision for ministry in their own communities Member Churches confirm a shared commitment to Christ and a passion for reaching those who are not yet part of His family.

There is nothing like the local church when the local church is working right. The local church has been entrusted with carrying the life-changing message of Jesus Christ and it's the only hope I see for this hurting and broken world. There's nothing else like it.
