Ministry
Sunday Morning
There are many opportunities to minister on a Sunday morning from teaching Sunday School or Kids Church to playing a part in the worship service. Please enquire if you’d like to minister on a Sunday morning.
Prayer Warriors
Prayer cannot be overestimated. Prayer moves the hand of God. Our Church is a body of believers dependent upon prayer, and committed to God’s sovereignty. If you would like to be on either the phone or email prayer chain please give your details to the Prayer Chain Convener by emailing Cecelia at johnceceliat@gmail.com.
Emergency Food Pantry
We provide emergency food and hygienic supplies to people in the area that have unexpectedly run out of basic necessities. Our emergency food pantry exists to provide the gap needed to help before they can acquire a more solid and permanent solution to their problems through bigger charities and organisations than ourselves. Pick up times for food parcels are Wednesdays 4-6pm, Thursdays 9-11am and Sundays 9-11am.
Fairhaven Nursing Home Chapel Service
On the 2nd Tuesday of each month, the Pastor with a group of volunteers from Fraser Coast Baptist Church visit Fairhaven down the road and minister to the folk there by providing a worship service consisting of singing, prayer, communion and special items (during school terms) from Bayside Christian College.
Card Ministry
Do you need a card for a particular occasion? At the back of the church auditorium, you’d find an abundance of card for various occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, condolences and many others. All we ask for is a donation that goes towards Missions. If you’d like to help out in this ministry, feel free to reach out. We’d love to have more on board!
Stamps Ministry
Did you know that stamps from your posted envelopes can raise money to support missions, here in Queensland and even overseas. Fraser Coast Baptist Church has a Stamp Convener that organises our stamps to be sent to headquarters in Brisbane where they use stamps to generate finance to help support various missionaries, both local and abroad. Drop off your stamps in the container at the back or arrange a time with the Convener to pick up your stamps if you are unable to come by the church. Send your request via the Contact Us page.
Drug & Alcohol Family Support
We recognise the deep pain, confusion, and exhaustion that often comes with loving someone affected by drug or alcohol addiction. At Fraser Coast Baptist Church, we are grateful to offer confidential, compassionate counselling support for individuals and families walking this difficult road. You don’t have to carry this alone.
Our desire is to provide a safe, respectful space where you can be heard, supported, and encouraged as we walk alongside you with care, wisdom, and hope. Please reach out if you need support!
Healing and Deliverance
We at Fraser Coast Baptist Church believe a Christian cannot be possessed by both the Holy Spirit and a demonic spirit at the same time; however, we believe a Christian can be demonised either by a past lifestyle of unrepentant sin or an habitual sinful lifestyle that they may be currently living. Ephesians 4:27 instructs us to not allow the devil to get a foothold.
There are times where that Christian may need an inner-healing experience and/or a deliverance from the demonic spirit(s) that is wreaking havoc inside that person’s soul. Feel free to reach out to the Pastor by clicking the Contact Us tab and send a message that explains the situation you or someone you may know is experiencing, which is causing you to think that you or them may need some kind of healing or deliverance.
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
The Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow ministry provides activities and social connection for those facing ageing or isolation. It is a partnership between Simple Solutions, who bring professional expertise, and the local Church, who provide pastoral and spiritual care. Although originally focused on supporting people with dementia and their carers, the group soon recognised the wider challenge of loneliness in the community.
Caring for a loved one with dementia is demanding, and often, after a passing, the surviving spouse’s main connections are found in the YTT group. This ministry continues to walk alongside all who feel isolated.
The group meets on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month, 10:00am–12:00pm. Please contact Bob Chopping if you are interested in attending or maybe even helping out to keep this ministry thriving.
