HOW ARE WE FUNDED?
Baptist churches are simply groups of Christians serving together in following Jesus. We don’t receive any government funding or support from national offices. Everything we do is funded through generous donations.
We currently require over $8,000 each week to operate our ministry at Unley Park, including support for our pastors. We also support local and global missions and aid. Together, we make a real difference!
