This web-site is maintained by the Ministry and Mission Committee to help ministers, elders, and members of the Presbyterian Church in New South Wales to access material that will enrich our life together.

Denominational Ministry Strategy

The Assembly, in July, received and adopted – for the first time in decades – a denominational ministry strategy. It focuses on three key areas: prayer, proclamation and pastoral care. Denominational Ministry Strategy.

Personal Peacemaking

The Scriptures are full of the importance of peace. In fact, peace is central to the core Biblical message: that God has acted in Jesus to make peace between himself and people who live in rebellion against him. The Ministry & Mission Committee is privileged to work with PeaceWise to equip people to live as peacemakers in a troubled world. Over 500 people have participated in Personal Peacemaking seminars that we have presented across NSW. More seminars are being considered for 2011. If you would like training in your church, please let us know.

Women’s Ministry

The State Assembly (4-7 July) received a much-anticipated report from its Committee on Women’s Ministry (CWM). On that committee’s recommendation, the CWM was “thanked and discharged” as its functions were assigned to the Ministry and Mission Committee. This Committee is now responsible to “provide a formal framework in which ministry by women might be promoted on a complementarian basis consistent with determinations of the General Assembly of Australia so that women are engaged for Christian service in ways that are effective, satisfying and connected.”

Non-English-speaking Ministry

The Assembly also resolved to:

Encourage all ministers, elders and other leaders of churches with non-English-speaking backgrounds to attend the forthcoming MACH conference to promote awareness of issues concerning second-generation members of migrant families and the development of effective ministries to such people. For details, contact Mike Wilson on (02) 9690 9348.

Superannuation

We have received a helpful letter from our AMP representative of interest to retiring ministers and home missionaries or people who cease to be employed within the Presbyterian Church.
