Churches of Christ in Queensland

Churches of Christ is a church and community organization that includes a group of affiliated, mainstream Christian churches and a range of care and community services and faith-related groups. We have been an active part of the community for more than 130 years and are a significant presence within Queensland with over 200 services in more than 100 communities; we also work in partnership with Churches of Christ in Victoria and Tasmania to provide care services in those states through Churches of Christ. Through our local churches and care and support services we touch tens of thousands of lives each year. We strive to create an inclusive, caring, compassionate environment that meets our clients' needs without discrimination or prejudice. Everyone is welcome to call on our help, regardless of religion, beliefs or background. Our services are funded by a mix of government subsidies, grants, donations, fees and charges. Identity: Our identity, existence and purpose as an organisation is found in Jesus Christ as revealed in the scriptures. Values: Modelling unconditional love, behaving with integrity and being good stewards. Mission: Bringing the light of Christ into communities. Services: We provide services across Seniors and Supported Living - Residential Aged Care, Community Care and Retirement Living; Children, Youth and Family - Fostering, Early Intervention and Residential; Housing Support - affordable housing options.
