CoMission
Credo’s off-campus mission teams.
Christ Beyond UTS
Credo is a university mission, and through CoMission: we help make disciples of all nations by learning and serving together in off-campus mission teams.
During the Summer and Winter periods, Credo joins with other Christian organisations to contribute to and experience God’s surprising global work. Teams range in size from a handful to over a dozen, and labour in the Lord together from 4 solid days, and sometimes up to 3 weeks!
If you struggle to go out of your comfort zone in volunteering for the sake of others, there is no better place to experience the power of the gospel than applying to join a Credo CoMission.
We are currently taking expressions of interest for our Summer CoMission teams, living residentially and partnering in different types of churches around Sydney, in their Christmas outreach.
Summer 2024
Merrylands East Presbyterian Church
DATES: 28th November – 1st December
LOCATION: Merryland East Presbyterian Church
TEAM LEADER: Pierre Thielemans and Kirsten Leung
TEAM SIZE: 6-8 Students
DESCRIPTION: Merrylands East Presbyterian Church is comprised of first, second, and third generation peoples from Egypt, Sudan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Jordan. This is a great opportunity for cross-cultural engagement and learning without buying a plane ticket. The program will give opportunities for giving your testimony, providing input to youth groups, distributing tracts, giving a kids’ talk, and contributing in the Sunday service. As well as serving, there’ll be time to hear from and talk with the pastoral team about their ministry in this context, and time for getting to know church people, including over a traditional meal! Come as servants and learners, open to meeting new people.

EVENT DATES: December 7th & 15th
