Do Applicants need to have Permission to work in Australia?
Wyong Baptist Church is a growing Church seeking to glorify God as we serve Him on the Central Coast of NSW. We’re made up of follower’s of Jesus, with a strong sense of unity in Him. We are excited that God is clearly at work here, lives are being touched and changed as people from different age groups and different walks of life encounter the good news which is at the core of the message of the Bible.
In terms of organisational structure, Wyong Baptist Church is based on a congregational government model. In practice, that means the church delegates leadership responsibility to its Pastor and Elders. Ministry Leaders are then given authority to lead particular areas of the church’s ministry, however all leaders are accountable to the church members. We are part of the family of NSW and ACT Baptist Churches.
