Our Partners
Matt & Lisa Pearson
CMS – Nothern Territory
Matt and Lisa have been supporting Christians and church leaders in Gunbalanya (Kunbarlanja) since the publication of the Kunwinjku language New Testament in 2018. They are learning Kunwinjku and sharing God’s word with believers. We’re excited to be supporting them given that a number of people at The Lakes have a historical connection to the people of Gunbalanya.

Ourimbah Christian Students (OCS)
At The Lakes we support the work of OCS at Ourimbah University, which aims to equip students to minister to their peers, evangelise on campus, and lead godly lives in relationship with Christ. OCS is a part of the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (AFES), a network of more than 50 student groups on university campuses around Australia.
School Scripture (SRE)
It is our privilege to be an approved provider of SRE (Special Religious Education) in many of our local public primary and high schools, under the guidelines set by the NSW Department of Education and with the cooperation of our local school principals. In partnership with other local churches we belong to the Tuggerah Lakes High School SRE Board and our local Primary SRE Board.

Compassion Australia
Indonesia
The Lakes partners with Compassion’s Child Sponsorship Program to make an impact on children living in poverty in Indonesia. Key to Compassion’s vision is the hope of Jesus, the care of a local church and the encouragement of loving sponsors. Compassion provides basic needs like clean water and nourishing food and gives children the chance to hear and respond to the gospel message—some for the very first time.
