Gathering as the people of God has always been central to the Christian Church.  At our next Gathering Incorporating our Ordinary Assembly on 9 November, we will focus on hearing how God is at work throughout our movement in NSW & ACT and look together at how this may continue to be strengthened.

Our main focus at this Gathering will be how we are working to be a mission shaped movement as we head towards our God-given Goal of 1000 Healthy Churches in a Generation.

We will be welcoming Rev Andrew Duncan, NSW State Director for Baptist Mission Australia and Rev Melissa Lipsett, CEO of Baptist World Aid Australia as our keynote speakers to see how we are greater together as we partner with our fellow Baptist organisations.

Program & Matters to be Discussed

The Gathering Incorporating the Ordinary Assembly will commence at 9:15am and finish at 1:00pm.

Lunch will be available at the main venue at Parkside Baptist Church at 1:00pm and you are encouraged to book in and share lunch with others before departing.

In the morning we will be sharing in a time of reflection and prayer that will involve collaboration and interaction between all sites across the state. More details about how this will work will be available closer to the Gathering.

There will also be keynote addresses from Andrew Duncan from Baptist Mission Australia, and Melissa Lipsett from Baptist World Aid Australia.

As previously mentioned in the Notice for this Assembly, Belvoir St Baptist Church has presented a Notice of Motion that will be discussed. Details of this can be found HERE.

Harbourside Church will be proceeding to affiliation which will also be considered at this Assembly. Keep an eye out leading up to the Gathering as we share more of Harbourside’s story.
