Position on same-sex marriage and LGBTQ+ inclusion

Independent churches have no denomination-level body above the local congregation, so there is no unified national position on same-sex marriage or LGBTQ+ inclusion. Positions vary church by church. Most affiliated churches in Australia hold a traditional position on marriage; a small minority explicitly affirm same-sex marriage at the congregational level.

Frequently asked questions

What is an independent church?

An "independent" church is a Christian congregation that is not formally affiliated with a denomination — it sets its own doctrine, governance, and worship style without reference to a central denominational body. Many independent churches in Australia are theologically Evangelical or Pentecostal but operate fully autonomously.

How is an independent church different from a denominational church?

A denominational church follows the structures, statements of faith, and oversight of a wider denomination (e.g. the Anglican Church of Australia, the Catholic Archdiocese, the Baptist Union of NSW/ACT). An independent church has no such ties — its elders or board govern it without external supervision. This means doctrine and practice can vary widely between independent churches.

Are independent churches credible if they have no denomination?

Many independent churches are well-established congregations with strong governance, ordained pastoral leadership, and long histories. Others are smaller or newer. The most useful checks when considering an independent church are: how long has it existed, who are its leaders, what is its published statement of faith, and is its governance transparent.

Why are some Pentecostal churches listed as Independent rather than Pentecostal?

Some Pentecostal-style congregations are formally independent rather than affiliated with Australian Christian Churches (ACC) or a similar Pentecostal network. The directory categorises a church under the denomination it publicly identifies with — so a Pentecostal-style congregation that describes itself as independent or non-denominational is listed under "Independent".
