Given the COVID-19 situation isn’t improving as we hoped it would by September, we have made the decision to cancel the FIEC 2020 National Conference. We are hugely disappointed by this, but the safety of everyone is of primary concern. We will be back in 2021 with a conference to encourage us in our serving Jesus and his church as we reach Australia for him.

Ministry opportunity: Crossroads Christian Church, Canberra
Crossroads Christian Church in Canberra is seeking to appoint another pastor to join their team from January 2021.
Health & Well-being during COVID-19
FIEC recently ran an online seminar for our pastors on the topic of health and well-being during COVID-19. Dr John Best, shared many helpful ideas about staying healthy during this time of lockdown. It is worth watching if you are in ministry or not.
The handout that Dr Best speaks to is available here.
FIEC Churches and online streaming
During the coronavirus restrictions, many of our churches have gone online with their Sunday church meetings. For the duration of the restrictions, our list of FIEC churches will have the streaming link (where available) listed next to the church website.
Manning Bible Church, Taree - Launch
Apologies for the slight glitch in the video…
After years of prayer and planning, Taree and the Manning Valley has a new church. Manning Bible Church, the newest FIEC church, got underway publicly on March 15. They were able to meet for just one week in person though due to the start of Coronavirus restrictions. Frustrating for them, but Joel & Hannah Hill and the planting team are confident that God will use them to reach Taree with the mighty hope of Jesus, even with restrictions on meeting in place for the moment. Pray that MBC grows and is strengthened as it reaches the local community for Christ and sees lives transformed by him.
