Pacific Church Partnerships Program

Program overview

The Pacific Church Partnerships Program provides a unique opportunity to engage with Pacific Island church leaders on development outcomes in the Pacific region and strengthen connections with Pacific peoples and communities.

The Program is assisting Pacific churches to progress locally led programs, strengthen organisational governance, and build capacity of young emerging leaders’ to take forward key challenges in the region.  The program also supports sharing and cooperation between young and senior church leaders, including through the Pacific Church Partnership Advisory Network (PCPAN) and the Pacific Australian Emerging Leaders’ Summit (PAELS).  

With strong indigenous participation, the Pacific Church Partnerships Program promote and build on the longstanding cultural and spiritual links between Australian First Nations and Pacific peoples.
