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...

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...
