Hospitalisation 

If you are in hospital, we are here to support you. Call us at +61 452 583 580.

Weddings

If you are planning to get married, one of the essential pastoral services we offer is pre-marital counseling. Couples who have gone through pre-marital counseling testify how helpful it has been for them through their years of marriage.

We take pre-marital counseling seriously and ask you to consider allocating enough time before your wedding to be prepared spiritually and emotionally for this new season in your lives!

The first 3 sessions are free to church members. A standard course is 9 sessions total, charged by hourly rate. Depending on the couple's past experience and present needs, counseling may be more or less than 9, but not less than 3. One post-marital follow up 3 months after wedding is recommended.

Should you have any questions, call us at +61 452 583 580 or email care@discover.org.au

Baby Blessings

Parents who have made a commitment to raise their little ones according to the Word of God can have a pastor join them in faith and pray a blessing over their babies.

This is for infants aged 14 months and below.
