At Carey, we think of discipleship as learning to follow Jesus in every area of our lives. One way to grow in this journey is in small communities together. These β€œgroups” take different forms across our congregations. Some of our groups are ongoing, some run for a fixed period and are based on certain curricula or course. Some have a focus on life stage for participants (for example our β€œPOD”s for Youth and Young Adults).

Connect Groups

Connect Groups are a small group of 8 to 12 people who meet regularly, both online and in person.

They are an opportunity to get to know a smaller group of people more deeply and to walk together through life’s triumphs and difficulties providing support and encouragement. They are an opportunity to grow spiritually and to read and consider the bible together. They are a great way to connect with others and to get involved with life at Carey.

At Carey Baptist Church we have various Connect groups, meeting at a range of times, both online and in-person, during the week.

Fathering Project

Carey is establishing a Fathering Project group at Forrestdale in 2020, giving Dads a boost in their fathering role. Throughout the year events such as picnics, camps, hikes etc will be promoted in the local community.

The Fathering Project is a University of Western Australia-based non-profit team of professionals whose aim is to help fathers realise how important they are in a child’s life and to give them advice on how to encourage their children. More information can be found at the Fathering Project website.

Their work is also aimed at father figures such as grandfathers, stepfathers, uncles, mentors, youth leaders, teachers, pastors and coaches, knowing that many children do not have much father contact at all.

This work was triggered by statistics that show that:

Whilst mothers are usually involved in children’s lives, education and health matters, many fathers are not as involved as they could be.

This father-absence has a major impact on education (e.g. on attitude to school, truancy and bullying), health (more drug addiction, depression, cigarette smoking) and crime.

The cost of this problem to the Australian community is estimated to be over $12 billion per year, so this intervention could save many millions of dollars each year.
