Christian Outreach Centre began in Brisbane, Australia in 1974, and has grown rapidly into an international Christian movement with over 1000 churches in 35 countries. Over the last 10 years, C.O.C. has planted churches across Europe, and currently has 25 in the U.K., with others in France, Germany, Slovenia, Ukraine, and Bulgaria. Our aid charity, Global Compassion, has brought assistance to poverty-stricken communities in Ukraine; funded building programmes for churches in Bulgaria; and trained pastors in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.



Our future as an apostolic church planting movement is unfolding now both locally and nationally. Locally in Inverness, our vision is to raise up a strong and influential church for the city. Nationally, C.O.C is training and equipping leaders to launch churches across Scotland and beyond. There are currently C.O.C. churches established in Aberdeen, Ayr, Dundee, Edinburgh, Peterhead and Wishaw and our desire is to pioneer throughout the nation.
