MPN is the major part of this movement, fostering unity across the Body of Christ to see ONE CHURCH IN OUR CITY with many Congregations
Believing that, as Jesus prayed, when His followers are in unity the world will know who He is.
MPN fosters networks of pastors in all 31 local municipalities of Melbourne, encouraging Churches and pastors to relate, pray and work in unity and to encourage the whole Church to pastor their whole local city together as One Body.
Major involvements
Melbourne Pastors Prayer Summit
The annual Prayer Summit is 4 days of days of prayer and worship with pastors from most denominations and areas seeking the face of the Lord. There is often a deep experience of the power of the Cross, bringing repentance, reconciliation and renewed personal passion and vision for ministry, and a sense of being diverse parts joined as One Body.
Multicultural Network
The Multicultural Network fosters intentional inclusion of people of all nationalities and cultures in the life of the local Church. The Network holds breakfasts every 2 months in Churches that tell how they are including people of different cultures.
Citywide Prayer Movement
Many thousands of Christians and churches are involved in the annual 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting – recognising our desperate need for God to renew the Church, and that this will only come as we humble ourselves in sustained united prayer. (This certainly was where the great revivals in Melbourne were birthed)
With Intercessors for Melbourne, networks of intercessors are being established in each local city. A gathering is held every 3 months at the top of the Rialto Building, Collins Street, to pray blessing over the City and its people.
Transforming Melbourne Website and E-Letter
The Website and regular E-Letters provide inspiration, news, prayer points and information about the movement, and stories of the Church in Melbourne and beyond.
A regular Major Christian Events Calendar for Melbourne is sent to all churches on email.
A Directory of Christian Ministry Organisations is updated and available on the website.
