**About us**
We are a local church, comprising three congregations of around 200 people, seeking to reach our community in Sydney’s southern suburbs with the gospel. Our vision is to grow God’s Kingdom by equipping people to take their next step with Jesus.

We are seeking someone who will primarily minister to this segment of our church who largely attend our 5pm service. The role we are seeking to fill is full time and has three areas of focus (see Position Overview).
