GROW COACHING

We are excited to share that Grow Coaching has begun! 

Our kick-off cluster training event with three congregations in Queensland was held in Brisbane in July and we will begin in South Australia and Victoria later this month.  A lot of effort has gone into planning and preparing for Grow Coaching and we are happy to see this come to fruition.

Please pray for the Grow Ministries team and the congregations involved as they grapple with understanding their unique theological vision. Pray also for fruitful learning and commitment to the two year journey.

Keep the following congregations in your prayers as they begin the journey..... 

Queensland: Beenleigh, Bethania and Middle Park.

South Australia: Warradale, Unley and Blackwood.

Victoria: Moorabbin, Croydon and Box Hill.

Below are some photos of the teams sharing their creative responses at the first Queensland cluster event.

Thank you to all the pastors, youth leaders, parents and young people who filled out the confirmation survey.  We have begun to analyse the outcomes, but we really need more student information to give us accurate results. 

Therefore we are seeking more participants to fill out the young people section of the survey. It would be great if Pastors could email their current classes and also the classes from past years. We really appreciate your time!

To encourage your help we will place those who take part in a draw to win a $20 itunes card!

**NB only surveys that are completed will go into the draw.
