FAQ

WHY IN ASHBURY?
Well, that is partly accident, as we have access to a great facility and the first support is from the local church there. However, it is central to city (about 15 minutes) and many other high density areas of the Inner West and South West.


In future, we hope to have groups meeting in various parts of Sydney, NSW and interstate.




WHO CAN COME?
Essentially anyone is welcome to come, however it caters for those in the services and their families. Yes, families are part of this. We don't yet have child minding facilities, but we are working on it.




WHY DO YOU NEED A SPECIAL MINISTRY FOR THOSE IN THESE SERVICES?
We need a special ministry because the type and conditions of work often isolate emergency service workers from traditional church networks. Most churches operate on a strict 7 day cycle, which leaves shift workers missing many events or regular chances for community.


Additionally, the nature of the work is not something we can always feel free to discuss with those who have little or no understanding of what we go through in our jobs. This minisitry is a place where mutual trust and respect is possible from the very start, as we all share similar experiences.
