All personal details are strictly confidential. General details about new initiatives will only appear in the Directory with permission.
Get on the 'map'Make a contribution to a 'map' of new ventures across Australia. It is only exploratory at this stage, and, of course, will never be complete. This map will be the foundation for further research analysis.
Be part of the New Initiatives Directory
NCLS will build an online directory of new ventures. If listed, you can find out about other ventures, encourage and support other pioneers, share experiences, and enable potential new participants to make contact with you. NB You may choose to only be part of the research 'map', and not be listed in the public Directory.
Inspire and inform the wider church
Stories of hope, new life & possibility will inspire other church leaders and attenders. Sharing the struggles and costs of being involved in new ventures is also critical.
Link with supportive networks
NCLS Research aims to form partnerships with other organisations committed to supporting new initiatives. Examples of what they may offer include mission training, leadership development, advocacy, mentoring, e-groups, events, theological reflection, money, equipment, resources, and infrastructure support (eg accounting, public liability, insurance etc). If you wish, NCLS will put you in touch with these organisations.
