Our Mission
Developing Thriving Immigrant Congregations in Australia
The Thriving Immigrant Congregations Initiative Australia (TICI Australia) aims to enable and equip immigrant churches to develop healthy intergenerational and intercultural relationships within immigrant churches so that they might thrive as spiritual and missional communities of faith, making gospel impact beyond their ethnic boundaries.
Why Do We Need
Thriving Immigrant Congregations in Australia?
- Immigrant churches are some of the fastest-growing churches in Australia. Their growth is halting the numerical decline of Christianity in many established denominations
- Due to their significant growth in Australia, are shaping and will continue to shape our future Christian landscape.
- Many immigrant churches struggle to thrive in two main areas: 1. To have healthy intergenerational relationships, and
2. To have capacity for gospel impact beyond their ethnic boundaries.
Launching TICI Australia
In November 2025, we held Navigating Change at Sydney Missionary & Bible College, with over 60 people from 38 immigrant churches and 11 denominations. It was a rich and encouraging evening, bringing together people from churches across Sydney to reflect, learn, and connect.
