We provide trusted guidance, practical solutions, and ongoing support for leaders and organisations doing important work.
Supporting Those Who Serve Others
Partners in Ministry exists to support and equip church leaders to lead healthy, flourishing, and vibrant churches across Australia and New Zealand, serving across multiple denominations. We love Jesus and we love His Church, and everything we do flows from that commitment.
We recognise that leading a church community is deeply meaningful—and often complex. Pastors and leaders face spiritual, relational, organisational, and strategic challenges that can be difficult to navigate alone. We exist to walk alongside leaders, ministry teams, and whole churches, helping them remain healthy, resilient, and effective in their calling.
Our support is comprehensive and adaptable, shaped by the evolving realities of ministry. Through church assessment, strategic consulting and planning, pastoral supervision, coaching and mentoring, leadership development and training, and the facilitation of workshops that support implementation, we address challenges at every level of church life.
With an experienced and growing team across Australia and New Zealand, we offer integrated support without the need for multiple providers. We meet leaders and churches where they are, matching them with the right consultant to meet their specific context and needs.
Ultimately, our desire is to serve God faithfully by strengthening pastors and the church communities they lead, so that His Church may continue to flourish for the sake of the world.

Statement of Faith
We accept and proclaim the historic truths of the Christian faith, including the following:
-
We hold that that the Lord our God is one. Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and that He fulfills his sovereign purposes – in creation, revelation, redemption, judgement, and the coming of his kingdom by calling out from the world a people united to himself and to each other in love.
We acknowledge that though God made us in his own likeness and image, conferring on us dignity and worth and enabling us to respond to himself, we now are members of a fallen race; we have sinned and come short of his glory.
We believe that the Father has shown us his holy love in giving Jesus Christ, his only Son, for us, while through our sinfulness and guilt, we were subject to his wrath and condemnation; and has shown his grace by putting sinners right with himself when they place their trust in his Son.
-
We confess Jesus Christ as Lord and God; as truly human, born of the virgin Mary; as servant, sinless, full of grace and truth; as our only Mediator and Saviour, dying on the cross in our place, representing us to God, redeeming us from the grip, guilt and punishment of sin; as Victor over Satan and all his forces, rising from death with a glorious body, being taken up to be with his Father, one day returning personally in glory and judgement to establish his kingdom.
-
We believe in the Holy Spirit who convicts the world of guilt in regard to sin, righteousness and judgement; who makes the death of Christ effective to sinners, declaring that they must now turn to Christ in repentance, and directing their trust towards the Lord Jesus Christ; who through the new birth makes us partake in the life of the risen Christ, and who is present within all believers, illuminating their minds to grasp the truth of Scripture, producing in them his fruit, granting to them his gifts, and empowering them for service in the world.
-
We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures are God-breathed, since their writers spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit; hence are fully trustworthy in all that they affirm; and are our highest authority for faith and life.
-
We recognise the Church as the body of Christ held together and growing up in him; both as a total fellowship throughout the world, and as the local congregation in which believers gather.
We acknowledge the commission of Christ to proclaim the Good News to all people, making them disciples, and teaching them to obey him.
We acknowledge the command of Christ to love our neighbours, resulting in service to the church and society, in seeking reconciliation for all with God and their fellows, in proclaiming liberty from every kind of oppression; and in spreading Christ’s justice in an unjust world…until he comes again.

Your Generosity Helps Us Continue to Serve Churches
Not all pastors are able to fund their own coaching or pastoral supervision, learning and development and many churches have yet to recognise the need for such vital development in their annual budgets.
