Aboriginal Ministry

The Church’s Aboriginal Ministry promotes spiritual, cultural and social development among people of Aboriginal descent. It seeks to give Aboriginal people their full place and share in the life of Jesus Christ as expressed through His Church. Associated organisations seek to meet the particular social, education and family needs of those Aboriginal people who are marginalised by society. The services include advocacy for Aboriginal people struggling to access their rightful share of the social services of the community.
