Special Needs

Jesus Club is our ministry for adults with an intellectual disability.

About 1 in 50 Australians are estimated to have some form of intellectual disabilities, yet they are one of the most unreached people groups in our churches today. Jesus Club is on a mission to make Christ known to more people with ID since 2006.

Jesus Club meets fortnightly

During school terms, we meet fortnightly on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-9:00pm.

What happens on a normal night of Jesus Club? We have heaps of fun together – singing, dancing, hearing stories, sharing food, games, and a chance to make some new friends.

If you have questions about Jesus Club, or would like to register, please get in touch with our co-ordinator Julie Horgan.

We encourage you to reach out to our Children's Pastor Linda Stephens to discuss how we might best partner with you to ensure your kids are engaged and enjoying their time with us. This can range from providing social stories to walk you through our program, to having one-on-one carers available to be with your child during Sunday morning activities.

SOUTH EAST ASIA

We share a deep affection for South East Asian people and long to see them fall in love with Jesus as we have. We’ve served as student ministers in churches in Sydney, where God grew our language and cultural understanding. In 2020 we visited South East Asia and met with Christian leaders and evangelists, as well as some of the beautiful children in Christian orphanages. God used this trip to convict us to serve the South East Asian people through cross-cultural mission there.

Many South East Asian Hindus are gripped by great spiritual fear and darkness. We hope to reach these people in evangelism, and train pastors and Christian leaders to do the same. Our aim is to encourage local believers to grow in their love for Jesus and their confidence to live out and share his gospel, to see a South East Asia that knows Jesus

SOUTH ASIA

John, Fiona and their children are enjoying life in this chaotic, fun part of Asia. As Director, John oversees many projects working with vulnerable people. Together they care and set vision for a team of local and foreign SIM workers serving in the community. This is a complex role and requires leadership of 40+ SIM members and associates of the team and oversight of the 80+ national staff. The team has a clear vision of establishing healthy churches among the majority people and are accomplishing this through a variety of means. Both Fiona and John are also involved in teaching and discipleship of church leaders.

GLASGOW

Glasgow is not the gospel city she used to be. Her streets used to rally around the motto “Lord let Glasgow flourish through the preaching of thy word and praising thy name.” Today, the motto is “People Make Glasgow” but the people who make the city are as devoid of Christ as their motto. Evangelical Christians now make up about 2% of the greater Glasgow area, with the East End an even more dire 0.3%. It is home to 276,000 people who desperately need Bible-teaching churches planted that will hold out the gospel of the Lord Jesus in a contextually appropriate way.

We are partnering with St Silas Episcopal Church to lead Glasgow’s first evangelical Anglican church plant for 150 years. The gospel generosity of St Silas and other evangelical churches from many denominations in Glasgow has been a huge encouragement to us, and we value your prayerful support for us on this venture.
