Background
Crosslink Christian Network began in the mid 1990’s in response to the Holy Spirit movements through the latter part of the twentieth century. The charismatic renewal began as a unique restoration movement.
The Christian people impacted by God did not immediately form one or more identifiable denominations. After approximately thirty years of seeking to impact the historic denominations and because of the repressive reactions of denominational leaders, many leaders and groups of believers began to sense the Spirit leading them to go their own way.
Five local churches that had separated from their traditional denominations began meeting together for encouragement and support. Eventually they formed the Network that has now existed since 1997. The Network obtained denominational status with the Commonwealth Government allowing its endorsed ministers of churches to be registered as marriage celebrants.
During these years we have sought to carve a unique place in the Australian church. Our members come from a very diverse set of backgrounds and their sense of belonging is the product of their belief in the future more than the sense of a common past.
