Doveton CSS - The Challenge!

Ministry is exciting when we connect holistically with people from all races and walks of life. That's why I'm so excited about the ministry opportunities at Doveton. The Community Support Services staff are dedicated to providing the best care for all clients who access their services, and believe me - they do it well!



Doveton CSS is a busy multi-service, multicultural social welfare centre with a keen desire to be a credible 'integrated mission centre' of The Salvation Army, where practical expressions of social services and spiritual care impact the local community and foster hope and healing in the lives of those come seeking support.

My chaplaincy challenge, then, is to build meaningful relationships with people that bridge lcoal community needs as we seek to establish a new 'mid-week' worship and faith community in this vibrant social service 'mission' centre.

In the words of Jesus: "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you let God do it." (Mark 10:27, MSG)
