Helping Churches Transform Neighbourhoods

 

Jesus told us all to love our neighbour, and that's exactly what NAYBA helps churches to do.

We are a network of Christians from across the breadth of the Australian Church with a vision to see the Body of Christ come together in complete unity to serve those in need and help transform our communities, cities and the nation.

Our Current Focus

NAYBA Recognised Project Menu

We search the country (and the world) for the very best in church-led community projects, putting them together in a menu of best practice that can be replicated by churches of any shape or size without having to reinvent the wheel.
