External ministry resources

Within Sydney, we are blessed to have a myriad of Bible-based seminars, conferences, and training programmes. People at cp11 have a tradition of attending, serving in, and even speaking at many of these ministries.

We continue to encourage our members to be involved in such ministries.

Bible colleges

Formal teaching through degrees, diplomas and certificates, on full-time, part-time and spare time bases. There are also some practical one-day seminars directed at grassroots church ministries. Since we are located down the road, we have a strong relationship with SMBC: amongst our congregation are three lecturers, several full-time students, and many part-time students!
