Who is The Australian Christians Party?

Australian Christians is the political party in Western Australia that unites the voices of all Christian believers in the political sphere.

When we, as Christians and God fearers, unite with one voice, we will be better represented in Government and the legislative process.

Our members unite under the banner of Jesus Christ whether they are Reformed, Anglican, Protestant, Apostolic, Non-Denominational, Evangelical, Pentacostal, Roman Catholic or Orthodox – to name a few.

We need a Christian voice in Parliament to cut through the political noise and promote accountability and integrity in government.

Australian Christians was formed in 2011 to be a bold voice for faith, families and freedom.

As a party, we always strive to model biblical values such as honesty and integrity, hope, respect, moral law, freedom, justice and sacrifice in all we do.
