Gospel Partners
The good news about Jesus is for all people. We want to partner with those beyond our Parish making Jesus known, both locally and abroad. Our members are invited to support our partners directly through their missionary organisations, or contribute to our Gospel Partners' Fund (details below), where financial gifts are proportionately directed to partners who serve locally, nationally, and around the globe.

St Barnabas Anglican Church Minyerri
Minyerri is an Indigenous community located 240 km south-east of Katherine, in the Northern Territory. Originally a partnership with our Bobbin Head Anglican congregation, Minyerri is now one of our Parish’s gospel partners. This association has been one of mutual blessing, with the goal of building one another up through sharing our common gospel aim of reaching the lost, and growing God’s local church.
Mission trips to Minyerri are undertaken at least once per year, where our congregation members spend a week in the indigenous community sharing of Christ with the local church and community, and deepening each other’s understanding of cross-cultural ministry.
For details about joining a mission trip contact Bobbin Head Anglican Church Pastor Dan Allan (dallan@stjames.info).
