Thought for the Week

Are you trying to do something about something that you can’t do anything about?  One thing is required: trust.

Welcome to Christian Outreach Centre Maryborough

Strategic Vision

To be known as Carriers of the Unmistakable Presence of God, Individually and Collectively. (John 17 : 20-23)


Purpose Statement

That we show the Character of Jesus through the Demonstration of LOVE, ACCEPTANCE, VALUEand to give a SENSE OF BELONGING to each and every person; that we might have a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ; that we may GROW to be the people God wants us to be - fulfilling our DESTINY and PURPOSE God had for us before we were born, and developing a CONFIDENCE TO SHARE WITH OTHERS what we have received, thus building the KINGDOM OF GOD through involvement in the LOCAL CHURCH.


We will show LOVE by:-

Being Patient and Kind, Courteous and Thoughtful, endeavouring to outdo one another in acts of love.


We will show ACCEPTANCE by:-

Seeing each person for who they are and not judging outward appearances, their deeds or disqualify them because of their position in life; judging ourselves before we judge others.


We will show VALUE by:-

Taking time to listen, showing care and compassion, discipline and correction, being ready to praise and honour each person and their giftings instead of criticizing or condemning.


We will give a SENSE OF BELONGING by:-

Welcoming in a warm and friendly manner, encouraging friendships and hospitality, building and strengthening a strong family atmosphere where people feel safe and fulfilled.

This Week's Message
Written by Jean Kidd   

Scared of Living???

I heard a comment recently that had a distinct ring of truth about it ... “Life is about learning from your mistakes and death is about wishing you’d made a lot more of them”.

In Joshua 14 (and Numbers 14:24 & 32:12) we are instructed to “follow the Lord wholeheartedly” and Ephesians 4:1 encourages us to “live a life worthy of the calling you have received”. Ephesians 4:2 goes on to expand “be completely humble and gentle, be patient, bearing with one another in love” v3 “make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace;” v4 “There is one body and one Spirit – just as you were called to one hope when you were called” v5 “one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all”.
