Origins
In these final hours before He returns, Jesus is building an army of reformers and revivalists. They are the nameless and faceless. A people purely motivated by first love. Who in humility, fear God and follow The Lamb.
Inspired by the unnamed Saints in Revelation 14, we want to gather people who want to see the name and image of Jesus made known, until Melbourne is “filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.” (Hab 2:14).
May His glory, be our only gain.
To walk the width and breadth of Melbourne City, making the name and image of Jesus known, through the united prayers and songs of the saints and through the public proclamation of The Gospel.

MOVEMENT
PILLARS
UNITY
In Exodus 20, The Lord communicates His desire for an altar built from uncut stones. He’s after worship that is unpolished and unpolluted. And if that’s what He want’s, that’s what we’ll give him. We want to offer Jesus worship that is pure and profit-free — where our only gain, truly, is His glory.
PURITY
We long for Jesus’ desire for His people to ‘Be One’ to be fulfilled in our lifetime. Psalm 133 compares the unity of God’s people to the dew that waters the earth. We want to see the city watered with the increasing measure of Jesus’ presence, by gathering the saints of Melbourne around the simple common desire of bringing Jesus greater glory.
MOBILITY
We’ve felt commissioned to follow the blueprint given to Abraham — to “rise and walk the width and breadth of the land”. It’s why we don’t gather in one place more than once. We want to ‘Jericho’ Melbourne, moving from one city council to the next, driving a stake in the ground in the spirit, to the glory of Jesus.

Strategy
We can do nothing without the presence of Jesus and, to be frank, we wouldn’t want to. We want to invite the presence of The Lord into each and every city council we gather in through whole-hearted praise and worship. Because Jesus’ presence changes everything and He loves to takes His seat in the midst of our praises for Him.
And You, God, are holy, sitting amid the praises of Your people. — Psalm 22:3
PRESENCE
We want to return to the ancient way of building altars before the Lord. Gatherings where we call upon the Lord, with a sincere heart. Marked by cries of repentance and longing that will “make straight… a highway for our God” in our nation. In turn, we believe God will do what He has promised to do and heal our land.
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land — 2 Chronicles 7:14
PRAYER
PROCLAMATION
We are compelled to openly and publicly proclaim The Gospel. We want to gather the harvest that is already ripe, but also sow seed for the one to come. We are persuaded by the truth of Romans 1:16 — The Gospel of Jesus is the power of God unto salvation for all people. We hold to the conviction that the publicly proclaimed Gospel confronts the spiritual rulers in our city.
God’s purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord. — Ephesians 3:10-11

Nameless Faceless was birthed in 2024, by a husband and wife serving as senior leaders of a local church, endorsed by the ACC, in Melbourne’s north-west.
Our core leadership consists of a team of trained individuals from different fellowships across Melbourne who are active leaders and members in their local churches.

You can’t read scripture without seeing God’s desire for His people to “dwell together in unity” (Psalm 133). As those made in the image of a God who dwells in unity among the three persons of the Trinity, so it’s God desire that we would live in agreement. In fact, Jesus’ final prayer while on earth is that we would be One just as God is One. We eagerly desire to see Jesus’ prayer fulfilled in our generation.
Psalm 133 goes on to compare the unity of believers to the anointing oil poured over Aaron, the high priest, that gave Him access to the innermost sanctuary of God’s presence. As we unite around the single goal of seeing the Gospel of Jesus go out and His name glorified in our land, we believe we are going to see an increasing measure of His presence rest on His people and, consequently, our city and nation.
This movement is not about a church but THE Church.
-
The heart and goal of this movement is to PROFESS, DECLARE and LIFT UP the Gospel of Jesus and see His Name glorified throughout our land. You’ll find this heart expressed at every one of our PRAYER+WORSHIP, Saints Equip and City Outreach gatherings and events.
We want to see multitudes come to know Jesus and enter into a life of communion with Him.
-
In general, our gatherings are two-hour gatherings, but you are welcome to come and go as you are able.
-
AMENITIES: Rest rooms will be available at all facilities where we gather
PARKING: Considerations for parking are always made during event planning to ensure ample onsite or nearby street parking is available. We’ll have a Parking Team ready to assist you at our PRAYER+WORSHIP gatherings.
CHILDCARE: We love hosting kids at our gatherings, we are believing children will be eternally marked by God as we worship and pray. Currently our catering to children looks like a child-safe play area in parent's views, where they can play and colour. We encourage parents to bring ample food and snacks for their children.
ACCESSIBILITY + SAFETY: Accessibility has been considered at all venues and a first aid officer will be in attendance at all events.

In following the heart of the movement, inspired by God’s command to Abraham to “arise, walk the span of the land” in Genesis 13:17, we want to gather in strategic locations across our city and state, to lift the name of Jesus and make His Gospel known.
We’ve begun our journey in Melbourne’s West and will continue to gather in locations that span the width and breadth of Melbourne, and eventually the state of Victoria.

Saints Equip: Generally taking place on a weeknight ahead of our City Outreach events, we want to equip and train believers in being bold witnesses and impart the heart of the Father for the unsaved.
City Outreach: Usually taking place on a Saturday, we take to the streets to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus in the places surrounding those locations we’ve prepared in prayer, through open air preaching, one-on-one witnessing and by offering prayer.
We’ve curated track cards to be handed to people at these outreach efforts, with a QR that will take recipients to a page all about Jesus and receiving salvation. You can check it out here.
