One of the blessings of our territory is to have such ethnic diversity. In order to better reach out to indigenous Australians we have our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ministry (ATSIM) Department, which is dedicated to sharing the Gospel of the soon coming of Jesus Christ to our Aboriginal and Islander people in Australia.

ATSIM runs Regional weekend programs, Camps and STORMCO’s (young people service ministry that stands for Service To Others Really Matters) throughout the Northern Australian Conference. These programs are designed to connect back with communities by building relationships, cross cultural awareness, healthily living & finding hope in Jesus.

ATSIM also identifies what young people have to offer and invests in youth leadership training and assists in providing strong Aboriginal & Islander leadership for the church, the community and the world.

Our pastors need a pastor too! Theirs is a unique role where they are constantly giving of themselves to help others in all kinds of circumstances, emotions and needs. So where does the pastor turn when he needs someone to talk to? That is the role of the Minister to the Ministers. He is there to support, encourage and guide the pastors in their busy occupations. Often he is just a listening ear and a sounding board, while at other times he is a resource person, advisor and advocate. Contact is made with the pastors through regular emails, calls, visits and meetings.

The task of the Personal Ministries Department is to inspire, motivate, equip, train, and mobilize Seventh-day Adventist Church members for dynamic Christian service with the conviction that the church is organized for service, and every member is called by God to be a missionary for the service of God and for fellow men.

• Dynamic Small Group implementation
• Community Service training
• Maximising potential of Sharing Jesus with others
• Bible study/sermon preparation and delivery
• Spiritual gift identification, and utilisation
• Resourcing members and discipleship training

Thank you for your interest in Adsafe.

The Northern Australian Conference provides a Will service to its members through the Trust Services Department in South Queensland. The service has operated for over thirty years and is under the supervision of practicing lawyers.

For legal reasons, the service provided is limited to “those associated with the church”. This is understood as referring to church members and others who attend church services. Wills are prepared free of charge and without financial obligation to leave a bequest to the church. Information Forms are available by calling the Trust Services Department on (07) 3218 7788 during business hours.

Appointments can be made online or by calling the Conference Office. As Trust Services is not based in the Northern Australian Conference most appointments need to be made for during Big Camp. Some dates may be available outside of Big Camp in your area, so please check the booking site for availability.

For more information or to make a booking, please call Rodney Woods on (07) 3218 7788, or email [email protected]
