Just one year ago, a vision for a movement of Christians who are passionate about
Jesus and justice was officially launched.
Today, Common Grace is a vibrant and diverse community of over 17,000 Australians proclaiming the beauty and generosity we have found in Christ - together, seeking to be more
like Jesus.
THANK YOU for believing in us, for joining us, for helping to write the beginning of the
Common Grace story - because of you we are celebrating our 1st birthday!
Like any baby, we’ve done some amazing things in our first 12 months, but now it’s time for
us to start growing up - and we can only do that with the support of everyone.
At this time in history, when a gracious Christian voice seems to be so often lacking,
Common Grace is uniquely positioned to contribute a diverse yet united Christian
response that sounds more like Jesus.
And there’s still so much that we feel called to do - from hosting another Lenten devotion
series (similar to our 2015 Lord’s Prayer Campaign), to welcoming Syrian refugees as
they arrive in Australia, to equipping churches to become safer spaces for those facing
domestic and family violence, to taking a leading role in calling for gambling reform,
and much more.
We look forward to seeing all that God has in store for this incredible movement! Together
we can do it!
Grace & Peace,
From the whole Common Grace team
