South Coast Beach Mission

JANUARY 2025 – Burrill Pines (exact dates TBC)

Every year many people travel down from the ACT and elsewhere to the South Coast for a summer holiday. The aim of the South Coast Beach Mission will be to share the good news of Jesus with holiday-makers. We’ll do this through big and small events, kids, youth and family programmes, and by just being present, making friends, having fun, and talking to people. This will be a great opportunity to get to know and partner with Christians from a variety of ACT churches who are keen to know Christ and make him known. If you are interested in joining a team in 2025 you can express your interest by fill out an expression of interest form here!

DISCOVERING LIFE DINNER

The Discovering Life Dinner is held every year as a way of connecting with the local community about the work SU is doing across ACT and nationally. Attendees are then given opportunity to donate to SU Australia’s camping, schools, sports, and training ministries.

2025’s dinner was held on 12 March 2025 at the Hellenic Club in Woden. It was a fantastic evening with our keynote speaker Alan Tongue. Next year’s dinner is planned for 4 March 2026 – stay tuned for more details.
