What we do?
Northlakes Church PlantNorthlakes 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 YouthQuest 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 SchoolsMinistry 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!

Spotlight on ACM Ministry!!
This Months “Snapshot” is all about transition, change and the future! Nathan/Marie Bollig finished up their first year with us and we started to get a taste of what it will be like to lead a full ministry team! I have to tell you it sure is different from just doing everything yourself. Nate McGlumphry and the Bolligs have added so much to ministry here by making so many new connections and adjusting the way we go about things. The philosophy of what we do has stayed the same however they have brought new ideas and the energy that younger people bring to make it happen. We have seen momentum begin and lives changing. I think we have had like nearly 10 baptisms this year and I can sit her and count another 5-7 folks who are considering this next step in their lives. The Bolligs have flown back the US for the next few months to shore up support which leaves Nate McGlumphry and the Branhams by ourselves so pray for all of us. Pray for a quick return for the Bolligs and that we can carry on for these few months! Transition and Change is always tough. UPDATE: The Bolligs are back!!! There are more on the way! Allen/Marilynn Todd, Nate McGlumphry and Jennifer Reynolds will be arriving very soon to round out the team! We want more workers in a field where over 90% of our population are not Christian. I was telling someone just this week that if I didn’t go to Church every week then I could probably go weeks without meeting another Christian. The need is great here so if you know of anyone that would like to get a taste of what ministry here would be like send them to us!!!! |
