Connecting with the Community


	We take very seriously the call Jesus gave to us. To follow him and expand his kingdom. Below are some of the things we are doing and resources we have made available to help you understand what is occuring, and give you some insight into the things God is doing.

	On Sunday 9th September we Church service told The story so far, about what God has been doing through the lives of those who desire nothing more than to be involved in his movement here on Earth as he builds his kingdom. The story so far.mp3 Much research has been done about the state of poverty in regard to the Australian welfare system. Below is a document that will help you begin to grasp hold of the issues of generational poverty and how the Church can be real in this. Generational Poverty We are slowly discovering that we are a Church that fills the gaps that other agencies cannot address. An example of this would be that we can offer people a sense of continued belonging and community, where they are able to feel valued. We are constantly developing connections with people, organisations and businesses who we want to partner with in order to benefit them and the people who they and we serve.
