CARE

As a church seeking to live out Christ-transformed lives, we want to love and serve one another as well as our neighbours – not just during the Covid-19 pandemic, but also beyond.

Various provisions of care and support will be needed as people experience physical, social, financial, emotional and spiritual challenges.

And as well as people in need, there will be those who can help.

If you would like to offer or request care, please use the appropriate tabs below.

Alternatively, you can email care@anew.org.au or call the church office on 4952 2218

For more information on our church’s approach to care, please read our care policy.
