This theme will see us spending more time investing into the body of Christ; and in order to do all this, we need YOU, as we cannot build our church without the people.
So how can you get involved?
Would you pray and consider how you might invest into our church’s vision and theme, serve as a valued volunteer, and play an important role in our pathway from Refreshed to Revival?
What role can you play in 2023 to see our next generation discipled? In what way can you serve to help others find belonging, hope and purpose? Please see below for some of our most urgent volunteer needs for the year ahead.

Where our biggest volunteer needs are:

Playgroup
Playgroup caters specially for the needs of families with children aged 0-4 years old. Our multicultural community provides a welcoming, safe and structured environment where children are encouraged to learn through interaction and play (eg. social skills, gross and fine motor skills and other general development).
Parents, particularly first time mothers or fathers, can receive support for the challenges parenthood brings, and also connect with other families and resources in the community.
Our program follows this structure: free play, a craft activity, morning tea, music time and story time. While children are busy playing, parents can relax and connect with other parents over a cup of tea or coffee.
