PerthTogether was founded in 2017, but its roots go back decades — it’s almost impossible to pinpoint where we started! Our ‘official’ establishment began in early 2017 when a number of leaders across Perth sensed God’s call to pray together for the city. This was spurred, in part, by three citywide gatherings that were planned for March and a sense that the Lord wanted to birth something in Perth. So, a group of ten or so leaders, from different spheres of influence, gathered to pray. This included pastors, marketplace and not for profit leaders.
Since then, PerthTogether has expanded to include Christians across Perth and beyond. Over the years, our vision has remained — foster unity among believers for the radical transformation of Perth.
“You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
- Matthew 5:14 & 16
“As a pastor, I am greatly encouraged to see the way the Lord is at work in our city, gathering people from across various spheres to pray. Such a collaborative, coordinated prayer focus across the body of Christ will surely bear great fruit.”
Nick Scott, Senior Pastor at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church
Connected by the blood of Jesus
Perth is Australia’s most multicultural city; we’re proud to be a diverse collection of Christians united through Christ with a common goal to see Perth flourish. Through our Prayer Wall, events, and resources, we’re supporting a stronger, citywide church community. We also actively support and promote unity-focused, collaborative engagement across the city.
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”
- John 17:20 – 21
