AP Journal – Reformed Thought for Christian Living

AP is the National Journal of the Presbyterian Church of Australia (PCA). As such, it reflects the confessional stance of the PCA – we believe that God is triune as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three Persons in the one Godhead. We also believe that the Bible is the Inerrant and Inspired Word of God that points us to the Son of God, Jesus Christ, our only Lord and Saviour. Salvation comes through the free grace and mercy of God revealed in Christ’s death and resurrection. We take seriously the gospel message and we seek to represent faithfully the Westminster Confessional standards of the PCA. Our desire is to help Australian and international Christians view the world from a Reformed, confessional perspective and thus our emphasis is on practical theology – helping people live a reformed life.

As a ministry of the Presbyterian Church of Australia and in partnership with the Presbyterian Churches in NSW,  Queensland, SA, Tasmania, Victoria and WA, the PIM has been taking the good news of Jesus to the furthest regions of our country since our foundation in 1912 as the Australian Inland Mission.

Presbyterian Women’s Association

The PWA is made up of women within the PCWA who want to support and encourage each other in their walk in the Lord Jesus Christ. The PWA encourages women in each PCWA congregation to be active in reaching out with the gospel to other women and helping then grow in Christ in ways that suit their gifts and talents. The PWA members come together from time to time in Spiritual Renewal and Training Day. Representatives are also sent to the Federal PWA meeting once every three years in order to network with Christian women nationally and internationally.

Presbyterians Assisting in Development
