Who is AFES?

AFES stands for the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students.
Our mission is to proclaim Jesus at university in order to present everyone mature in him.
Jesus has authority over all nations, and so we share the gospel and make disciples as broadly as Jesus’ lordship.
We are passionate about students modelling mission to students to share their faith in Jesus with peers.
We have a rich history of students initiating and carrying forward university mission in partnership with staff.

What We Believe

AFES upholds the fundamental truths of the Christian faith, including:

  1. The divine inspiration and infallibility of Holy Scripture as originally given and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
  2. The unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead.
  3. The universal sinfulness and guilt of humanity since the fall, rendering all people subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
  4. The conception of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit and his birth by the virgin Mary.
  5. Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death, as our representative and substitute, of Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God.
  6. The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
  7. The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to make the death of Christ effective in the individual sinner, granting repentance towards God, and faith in Jesus Christ.
  8. The indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer.
  9. The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
