• Worship, Pastoral Care and Faith Formation
• Weekly Sunday morning worship services in both congregations and a smaller monthly worship service at Walloon
• Regular Bible study groups that encourage learning, discipleship, and spiritual growth
• Fellowship gatherings that strengthen relationships and community life
• Intentional pastoral care within the congregations

Mission and Community Engagement

• School-based ministry and chaplaincy support
• Offering pastoral presence in local aged-care centres
• Operation of the vibrant Rosewood Goodwill Op Shop, providing hospitality, connection, and practical support to the community

Roles and Responsibilities of the Minister

The congregations are seeking a minister who will:

• Lead worship with confidence and theological depth
• Encourage people of all ages to grow in faith and discipleship
• Support, mentor, and strengthen leaders across both congregations
• Equip members for pastoral care, enabling them to care for one another
• Help the congregations engage their communities in practical and compassionate ways
