August's Update From Ps Brendan & Ps Helen
What an incredible few weeks it’s been! We’ve seen our church respond with great faith and generosity, with 75% of our $500,000 Kingdom Builders Faith Goal now committed. We give God all the glory!
From the very beginning, we called it a faith goal because faith is always forward-looking. While we haven’t reached the full goal yet, we’re excited that construction is still set to begin next month as we continue trusting God for His provision every step of the way.
Thank you for your prayers, generosity, and faithful support. Together, we’re creating more room for people to encounter Jesus and building a legacy that will impact generations to come. The best is yet to come!
Changed Lives, Eternal Impact
When the Kingdom Builders Campaign began, God asked us to give an amount that felt impossible. My husband was on unpaid leave and my maternity pay was ending. We were about to have no income with two young children. Even so, we chose to trust God and give in faith.
Soon after, we received a confirmation letter that we were exempt from paying the $48,000 stamp duty on a gifted block of land—16 times of what we had given. Through this season, God faithfully provided in ways we could never have imagined.
It reminded us that we can always trust Him, even when the numbers don’t make sense.
Project Progress
Last update: July 2026
Original Development Application
Approved: 15 December 2025
Planning & Design
7 June 2026: Received the preliminary concept plans and drawings from the drafter to explore the feasibility of renovating the adjoining building versus a full demolition, with the aim of identifying the most cost-effective solution.
7-26 June 2026: Engaged in extensive consultation with our drafter, engineers, builders, and other industry professionals to carefully evaluate the available options and determine the best long-term approach.
26 June 2026: Following thorough discussions and consultation with our team of experts, the decision was made to proceed with full demolition, as it provides the most practical and sustainable solution for the future.
5 July 2026: Received the next stage of the architectural plans for the original DA-approved full demolition design, with greater detail and precision. Next step: meet with the town planner to ensure everything is in place before proceeding.
9 July 2026: Met onsite with the Town Planner to confirm that the proposed internal and external modifications remain consistent with the original Development Approval and can proceed without planning concerns.
13 July 2026:
• Met with the Certifier, as recommended by the Town Planner, to confirm the proposed Minor Amendments can be certified prior to lodging the Variation Application with Council.
• Architectural drawings are being finalised for submission to Council as part of the Variation Application.
• Engineering drawings are being finalised to obtain final construction quote.
20 July 2026: Met with the architect to fine-tune the layout, including room sizes, the nursing room orientation, and several other design details. We’ve now achieved the best balance of functionality and flow within the available space.
Next step: The updated plans will be sent to the drafter to incorporate the electrical layout and final technical details before lodging the Variation Application and issuing the plans to the builders for the final quotation.
30 July 2026: Awesome news! 🎉🎉 Council has given us the green light for our Variation Application! Approval was granted in just 3 days—an incredible outcome. We are so thankful for God’s favour throughout this process. God is good!
