From the time God first called RHEMA to Australia in 1980, His word to us was to be prepared to minister to thousands and to unite people in faith.

In recognising the values of this calling we have established the RHEMA Denomination. RHEMA fosters the unity of the entire Body of Christ, and especially the ministry gifts God has set in the Church as described in Ephesians 4:11-12, 1 Corinthians 12:28, and Romans 12:4-8. RHEMA strongly supports the supernatural influence upon ministries and their members.

RHEMA'S mandate is to reach out and assist organisations, ministers and ministries by providing licensing and ordination as qualified ministerial candidates; governing its members with training, encouragement, support and accountability; assisting churches in locating pastors and qualified personnel; providing associate or affiliate status to qualifying churches; assisting ministers in locating places of ministry; and providing information and counsel in various areas of organisation such as non-profit law, finances, publications, and administration.

RHEMA has regular opportunities for gathering together, as well as giving and receiving vision, direction, and valuable information leading to more effective ministry.

God has blessed us with tremendous people who function with a variety of talents and gifts both in the natural and spiritual affairs of ministry life, ready to assist in fulfilling this vision to change our world.

It is our goal to establish and affiliate churches and ministries to provide our members with resources.

Sharing resources

We firmly believe that unless the natural structure is in order, the spiritual flow will be hindered. Rhema provides excellent wisdom and knowledge in the natural affairs to advise you in the legal and financial aspects of your ministry. As a Religious Denomination we are registered with the Commonwealth Government in Canberra and as such, can offer Marriage Celebrant registration and training to our Ministerial ministers throughout Australia.

The resources of RHEMA Australia are available to all our Associated and Affiliated ministers and their ministries. These include training manuals on subjects such as Praise & Worship, Ushering, New Believers Classes, Home Groups, Marriage & family and Pastoral Care to name a few. These resources continue to expand, as do our human resources, who remain available to offer you advice and assistance in various areas of ministry and administration.

We believe we are called to carry out a mandate to preach the Gospel and impart a bold, victorious message of faith in God and His Word to triumphant.

We believe that God wants us to unite together, to belong, to be accountable, and to feel attached and not disconnected. There is great security in belonging, both for us as Ministers and for our respective congregations.

When God gives us a vision, He also provides the provision to fulfil that vision!

There has never been a lack of vision, motivation, enthusiasm and grace since the birth of RHEMA. The ministry has continued to expand with exciting growth in all areas, with a strong no-compromise foundation of God's Word coupled with the power of the Holy Spirit bringing about a dynamic ministry, which is on the cutting edge of how God wants us to bring relevance to our surroundings. In other words, relevance without compromise!

We thank you for your love, support and prayers for RHEMA.
