Aims
and Purposes
To provide a
vital ministry which will empower people and communities to build a
continuing relationship with Christ, to value themselves and one
another and to experience life within a faith community.
Main
Activities
A balanced
program of activities which provides fun, fellowship, and spiritual
growth in our children (from age 4), our youth and adult members.
Some adult members meet as groups and these groups are called
Townsend Fellowships, called after Mary Elizabeth Townsend, the
founder of GFS. Branch, District and Diocesan camps and other
activities are run regularly. Triennially, a National camp is held
for the age 13-17 group and another for the 18-30 age group. There
is an Australian wide Leader Development Policy overseen by our
Australian Leader Development Officer who supports the Leader
Development Officers in each Diocese in Australia. Training for
Branch Leaders and Youth Leaders is held regularly within each
Diocese and State.
