Our Mission
Loving God. Growing Together. Reaching the World.
Whether is is at home, in our city of Horsham, in our region of the Wimmera, in our state of Victoria, or to the ends of the earth, our vision is the same. We exist to know Him with all of our hearts and to share the love that He has shown us with as many people as possible.
Our Partners
As a church, we support a number of individual missionaries and organisations, both in our local area and across the globe. You can read more about who we support below.
Operation Uganda
Uganda
Russ & Jenny pioneered Operation Uganda in 2005, an organisation that focuses on a Christ-centred response to the orphan crisis in Uganda, supporting over 500 orphaned and vulnerable children in community based care.
Operation Uganda is also active in both Kampala and war affected areas of Uganda in developing and strengthening primary and secondary schools, planting churches, skills and sustainable livelihood programs, mission teams, health care and child advocacy.
As a part of our support of Operation Uganda, our missions team travelled to Uganda in October 2024 to partake in projects and works.

Sepheo
Lesotho
Josh and Belinda founded Sepheo in Lesotho, Africa, in 2013. Sepheo identifies, reintegrates and educates children living and begging on the streets in the capital, Maseru.
Since they started, the population of children on the streets has been reduced dramatically. They started a school especially for those who had fallen behind in their education. It is a place of love and healing where children can catch up at their own pace. It is a place of the second chance where children find their purpose.
For more information on the work that Josh & Belinda do, visit their website below.

Free to Be
India
"Our goal at Free To Be is to facilitate child centered community development in Kolkata with the aim of improving the community’s capacity to protect children from vulnerabilities such as child labor, child marriage, and child abuse and exploitation. Free To Be works to address root causes to these vulnerabilities, such as economic constraints at a family and community level, a lack of access to education, limited food security and gender inequalities."
