What we do?

Northlakes Church Plant

Northlakes Church is our first Church plant and is now over 5 years old! There is slow and steady growth and we know that it is only a matter of time before it will be self sustaining.  The next Church plant is right around the corner as we receive more workers ready to make a difference downunder!

Quest Youth

Quest Youth runs two important ministries.  The first is weekly youth group during the school term.  We support and encourage the next generation to think about what a life with Jesus would be like all while having a ton of fun.  The second is Quest Youth Camp which happens each year and allows youth to get away from it all, have fun and look at our Quest to enter a relationship with Jesus. 

Scripture in Schools

Ministry to children is very important and we do this is a couple of ways.  Jennifer Reynolds is our Children's Minister and Coordinator.  Jen runs a children's church program at Northlakes Church as well as oversees our Scripture in Schools program.  This program allows us to go into our local primary school and teach relevant Scripture lessons each week.  We teach over 500 students each week!

ACM and SPCF engaged!
Australian Christian Mission and South Pacific Christian Fellowship have been dating for some time now and we would like to take this opportunity to announce our engagement.  We both have a heart for the South Pacific with SPCF doing such great work in New Zealand and ACM working here in Australia.  Well it is about time we start working together and pooling our people resources.  This year we have begun to do just that.  SPCF has been helping us with finalizing working and training some recruits and we are preparing to guide and direct future teams when they hit the ground here in Oz.  John Woodward who is the CEO elect of SPCF and Randy Brooks the regional director in NZ are top blokes and we can’t wait to see what God will do as we join forces.  God has already been working to bring workers to His field of harvest.  I can’t think of two other men I would rather work together with on recruiting and training young men and women to work in the harvest fields.  As I write this there are young men and women training, raising support, and preparing themselves to come and join our team.  Nathan and Marie Bollig are one of those young couples who bring energy, enthusiasm, and a willingness to work.  Nate McGlumphry also offers so much experience and expertise.  These young people have already been through some training and preparation.  This week they have both started raising the much needed support to come join the ACM/Northlakes team later this year!  Lynne and I can’t wait to start working with them!  They have truly answered the call.  These wonderful young people are not the only ones either...we are working with several other couples and individuals so please be praying that God continues to call people to His ministry in Australia and be praying for Nathan and Marie Bollig and Nate McGlumphry as they begin this Quest with God.​

new set up

Northlakes changes "set up" to match Philosophy
​Northlakes Church has always wanted to create a comfortable, relaxed space for people to come and discover what a relationship with Jesus would look like!  We want people to know they are valued and heard...that what they think matters to us and Him.  However our traditional “setup” has not always reflected that so we have been testing out a new set up.  The last few weeks we have been setting up around coffee tables and allowing for guided discussion during our gathering.  It has only been a few weeks but my heart is soo happy to see people interacting and discussion how God might work in their lives.  The sparkle in their eyes as they learn from each other is infectious.  I know the Lord is blessing our times together and we ask for your prayers as we do everything in our power to allow people to discover God in this new way.  A cup of coffee and a God conversation with a good friend can sometimes be more life changing than a well delivered sermon.
