Missions
Local Missions
We decided some time ago that sowing into missions in the “backyard” of our church was as important as sowing into other countries and cultures.
When you hear the word missions at Gateway, we are saying that “we believe that God has commanded us to go to Jerusalem, Samaria and the ends of the earth to share Jesus and see His salvation, compassion and goodness offered to all.”
Jerusalem being Local, Samaria being our Nation and the World being Global.

YOUTH ALIVE EXISTS;

Youth Alive is a Christian organisation that operates in every state of Australia. The concept for Youth Alive was formed in 1982 at a camp in Victoria. It was birthed out of a genuine concern and passion for reaching young Australians with a positive message.
Over 30 years later Youth Alive Victoria exists to reach teenagers with the message and love of Jesus Christ through local Youth Ministries. Each year they run large-scale youth events as well as various training, leadership and relational support programs in high schools and ministries all across the state.
Youth Alive is committed to supporting the local church and local youth ministries. This is achieved through the resource Youth Alive provides with events, leadership development the Youth Alive network and practical resource.y
Global Missions
We are called to be a church that not only has an impact locally but globally.
For many years Reside Church has been an active supporter of missions projects all over the world.
Compassion
*Tax-deductible giving available.
Christ centred. Child focused. Church based.
Compassion primarily works with individual children through our Child Sponsorship Program. We have been involved in individual child development for about 60 years. During this time we have discovered that working with children is a highly effective way of changing communities because changed people inevitably change their circumstances. Compassion’s holistic child development model is designed to help reduce the vulnerability of children and their families and build their resilience through year-round nutrition, health, education and income generation support.
ACCI Missions & Relief

ACCI is a Christian organisation focused on both missions and relief and is the missionary sending and support agency of the Australian Christian Churches movement (our movement).
ACCI Missions
ACCI Missions’ vision is for a world where all people have the opportunity to experience the gospel. To see whole life transformation in individuals, families and communities by empowering people to love well.
As a missionary sending agency, ACCI Missions exists to train, support and mobilise field workers who are involved in mission’s ministries – like evangelism, church planting and leadership training. We also support, train and mobilise workers for aid and development activities – including disaster relief, poverty alleviation, community empowerment and child-centred development.
ACCI Relief
ACCI Relief’s vision is for a world where Christian principles of justice and equality are actualised. Where individuals, families and communities are empowered to influence decisions affecting their own lives, advocate for their own rights as human beings with equal voice and equal value under the premise that all life has intrinsic value before God who created life. Where every child’s right to a family is upheld and defended.
ACCI Relief’s mission is to see whole life transformation in individuals, families and communities by empowering our people to love well and develop holistic and sustainable solutions to combat injustice, reverse the effects of human poverty and to engage communities as active participants in their own development.
