About us

Common Grace is a movement of over 50,000 Christians who are passionate about Jesus and justice. We are animated by a vision of the good that God intends for the world and we are committed to pursuing love, beauty and grace to help this be realised today.

Started in 2014, we seek to support and accelerate an Australian Christian movement for justice by equipping Christians to think, act and speak like Jesus for a more just world. More specifically, we seek to:

  • Mobilise Christians to be a faithful presence for God in the world,
  • Form people in faith as recipients of grace and obedient to Jesus’ call to love our neighbour, and
  • Partner with local churches to look like Jesus in the world.


We dream of a future where our nation listens deeply to First Nations people and the truth of our history, where injustices are righted and the oldest continuous cultures in the world are celebrated.

We care for God’s beautiful creation, addressing climate change and ensuring the environment and generations to come flourish.

We embrace people seeking asylum with open hearts and open arms, pursuing peace, restoration and welcome.

We long for all households to be places of nurture, safety and support, where violence against women is eliminated.

This is a future where all the broken things are restored and reconciled to and through Jesus. A future where all people and all creation can flourish.
