WHO WE ARE

000 Ministries is a non-denominational group for those who work in the Ambulance, Fire, Police or shift-working doctors and nurses, their friends and family. It is a ministry that was started from nothing in 2011, but hopes to grow as it supports and encourages more and more people of faith in these professions.


The group holds that Jesus is God's son, sent to provide us a way back to him. Jesus was not only an historical man, he was also fully God. We are able to discover Jesus in the pages of The Bible, which is God's authoritative word. We hold to the beliefs as outline in "The Nicene Creed"*


The founder of the ministry is Mark Layson. He currently serves as the pastor of a small Inner West church in Ashbury. Mark, however, spent the best part of 11 years serving in the NSW Police Force and The NSW Fire Brigades (now NSW Fire & Rescue).

*THE NICENE CREED*

We believe in one God,

the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven & earth,

of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord,

Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God,

eternally begotten of the Father.

God from God,

Light from Light,

true God from true God

begotten, not made,

of one Being with the Father;

through him, all things were made.

For us and for our salvation,

he came down from heaven;

he was incarnate of the Holy Spirit

and the Virgin Mary

and became truly human.

For our sake, he was

crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered death

and was buried.

On the third day, he rose again

in accordance with the Scriptures;

he ascended into heaven

and is seated at the

right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom wil have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,

the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the

Father and the Son

is worshipped and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in only holy,

universal and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the

forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come.

Amen.
