- providing individual consultation to help staff and students think through issues from various spiritual perspectives
- organising bible study groups and talks for those interested in exploring contemporary Christian spirituality
- offering worship services such as mass
- being available in some circumstances to conduct weddings, baptisms and funerals on or off campus
- running programs for international students to welcome them and support them as they adjust to Australian culture and life
- arranging social activities such as dinners and camps to help people make the most of university life.
For international students interested in making new friends, meeting Christians from all over the world, and finding out about Jesus and the Bible, Helen Bell organises a variety of events and activities throughout the week. Please contact her for more information.
