Providing emergency relief and benevolent care for the benefit of those in the Whitehorse and surrounding community in order to relieve poverty, suffering, misfortune, helplessness and destitution.

Partnerships with other churches as part of Whitehorse Churches Care, Whitehorse City Council, Box Hill Police, state and federal government and other local networks and agencies are also significant. Partnering with Jubilee Housing to address homelessness in the local area. We also partner closely with a mental health social worker addressing counselling and mentoring needs for vulnerable clients to overcome difficulties, build resilience and empower them to take next steps.
