Community - Local Missions

• Food Hampers

  The Source Church Stirling has a bunch of dedicated people who give to the community through providing food hampers to those we hear about who are finding things difficult for a myriad of reasons. It is a pleasure to hand over these and see the surprise and happiness on the faces of the recipients. Many have said that this has given them a huge boost to know that someone cares for them.

• Meals

  Once a month, a group of ladies get together as part of their community focus to be a source of help to those who are struggling due to illness or another problem. They cook meals that are set aside to be sent out to provide a much needed support during difficult times.

• Community Support

  The Source Church Stirling supports the work of The Hut, a community service for the Adelaide Hills region. A number of people volunteer their time to facilitate the work of The Hut and provide care for those in need in our community.

• Schools

  The SDMA (Stirling and District Ministers Association) supports the work of several pastoral care workers in the primary and high schools of the Adelaide Hills area. As a member of this association, The Source Church Stirling has facilitated these pastoral care workers in their very crucial roles through encouragement and also through providing other workers when needed to interface with the school environment.

Community - International Missions

• Countries We support

  The people of The Source Church Stirling have committed themselves to regularly support a number of mission endeavours around the world. This commitment comes in the form of financial giving along with many choosing to join teams which have travelled to the countries in order to interact, support and encourage the people there in person.
  The main focus is towards Sri Lanka, one of the countries particularly devastated by the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004. The Source Church Stirling is dedicated to raise $40,000 over a 3 year period towards a project totalling $400,000 which will allow for the establishment of a base for the local pastors and people to work from in that country
