About

Citylife Church Inc is a large multi-campus Christian church based in Melbourne, Australia, with a core mission to 'Love God, Love People, Make a Difference'. Beyond its spiritual services, the church actively engages in extensive local and global community outreach, providing direct support and social programs rather than traditional philanthropic grants.

Tips for Applicants

Citylife Church does not operate a formal grantmaking program for external organisations. Their 'giving' is primarily through direct community services, programs, and partnerships. Individuals or community groups seeking support would typically need to engage with their specific outreach ministries (e.g., CityLife Cares) for direct assistance or volunteer opportunities.

Giving Philosophy

Rooted in Christian values, Citylife Church's approach to giving focuses on compassionate service and direct impact. They believe in fostering spiritual growth while addressing practical needs within their community and globally through various outreach ministries, aiming to bring positive transformation to individuals and families.
