Elders

Rod Hook

The longest standing Elder in SouthPoint, Rod is a very strong member in our church and a wider community.

Rod’s favourite bible book is Romans, particularly Romans 12, as it is the most practical and profound guide for Christian living.

In spare time Rod likes watching his grandchildren play sport. 

Gaynor Steele

Gaynor is in charge of Kids Church and Outreach Ministry.

Each of these ministries have special place in Gaynor’s heart fulfilling her mission at SP. For example, “missional” conversations with helpers at Puddle Jumpers carry a confirmation from God that he is in this venture.

Sala and Create bring together people from all cultures and backgrounds and are a great example of a community effort.

Kids Church & Kids Club is another affirmation of our program and blessing from God with our “regular” attendees.

Not surprisingly, her favourite bible book is James, which spoke to her at a time of need and is very practical

Pastoral Care

To experience God’s love, expressed in quality relationships and through pastoral care that will restore individual lives, build healing communities, praying for each person and growing disciples of Jesus.

Scriptural emphasis – Matthew 25:35-40

35 For…….

I was hungry and you gave me food, (meals for those in need)

I was thirsty and you gave me drink,(meet people’s needs)

I was a stranger and you welcomed me, (new people may feel welcomed)

I was naked and you clothed me, (provide support in many areas)

I was sick and you visited me, (for those who face physical challenges)

I was in prison and you came to me. (for those who are bound)

37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?

38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?

39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, [a] you did it to me.

Meetings are held each month and the format of each meeting commences in prayer, devotional, sharing what God has been doing in our lives and a topic for the meeting.

Kids church is open on Sundays during the service to children of all ages.

We use age-appropriate material that meets our goal of taking the children deeper into an aspect of Christ’s character over several lessons.

Ages 4-11 - We aim to teach in a fun way using different stories, games and activities.

All our programs operate to ensure we comply with Child Safe standards and that risk plans are in place. Our leaders have necessary training to ensure all safety standards are met and adhered to.

Hospitality and Welcome

We are blessed with many people who make SouthPoint a friendly and welcoming place for fellowship. It starts with our friendly welcoming team at the door, a big thank you to Molly and Val as well as others who take the time to great people at the door.

After our service, there is the opportunity to receive prayer. Thank you to Robyn and Trish for coordinating this valuable service and for all the team who make this a regular service that we can provide each week.

Morning Tea items are provided by Bite Me bakery (c/o Nicole) and Lynne is amazing, preparing fruit as well as ensuring the fridge and pantry are stocked with morning tea supplies! Lisa Croke’s help to set up in the morning is appreciated and her special treats that she and Stephy bake, for Father’s Day and other occasions, provides welcome additions to the regular items on offer.

Jo Knight has very generously made beautiful craft/ food goodies for our special events such as Easter, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day, which make everyone feel special. Thank you, Jo!

Gaynor and Hanli helped organise this year’s Greatest Morning Tea to raise funds for cancer research.

SALA is another event where SouthPoint provide an evening of catering and fellowship for Artists and the community.

We also hosted a Men’s breakfast and Indian lunch we had around 50 people to these events.

We have been blessed to have little Amber helping with the dishes and Stephy helping in the kitchen. Its lovely to see the lessons learned during kid’s church being enthusiastically embraced by our kids!

Thank you to everyone who lends a helping hand and serves faithfully in this portfolio.
