Funding a Place for People
Funding A Place For People to Know God
We have launched a fundraising campaign to create a ministry base for our church. We would love you to continue to pray about and explore how you can contribute to our goal before the end of March. Here are some ideas to consider:
- Use your savings now for the Kingdom
- Extend your mortgage by a year or two
- Work for a year or two before retirement
- Put off trips, renovations, upgrades, and purchases
- Work some overtime if you can
- Share this message with friends and family
You can make deposits direct into our Building Fund account:

Here’s how we are tracking so far:
Volunteer
Do you have some spare time and are looking to help out somewhere?
We are always looking for people to serve others, to help in small and big ways. You might be able to offer 30 minutes a week, or 30 minutes a day, but whatever the case, we can use the time you have available! Let us know what you like to do, how you can help, or what time you have available, and we will find a way to include your time and skills.
Here are some of the opportunities:

Community
We love to serve our local community, and we do this in a variety of ways. Sometimes we hold special events and invite the locals to come along. Other times, you may find us at a stand at one of our local shopping centres or handing out free coffee at the Christmas carols at Airlie Beach. We assist those with little resources, with practical help and we like to help out in other ways as much as we can.
Our next community event is our Easter Sunday Easter Fun Day.
