Do Applicants need to have Permission to work in Australia?
In the mid-1990s, a group of four Church of Christ congregations began earnest discussions about coming together to achieve more than they could by going it alone. On the 7th November 1999, Northern Community Church of Christ held its first service.
In 2003, the Church commenced CareWorks, our community services arm, and in 2004, we moved to our current location at 81-91 High Street, Preston. In 2018, CareWorks separated out and became an organisation with its own governance and fully independent financial responsibility.
Northern continues to explore how God might want us to continue using the resources we are blessed with to help people live their lives well and connect with their Creator. Through the potential redevelopment of our current site, we are working through what God would want us to do, to be a blessing to our community. While we have more questions than answers, we trust that God will reveal the right plans at the right time. While the next building project we possibly engage in will not be completed in a day, we believe with God’s help, we can do the seemingly impossible.
