Imagine living in a community where people are unconditionally loved and accepted. A community that has a foundation of hope. A community where people of hope are known and available to assist.​

Imagine a community where others are with you for the ‘long haul’, not just in the time of crisis. A place of friendship on the journey of life, where real care is extended and received. A place which will refer people to more specialised assistance where necessary.

 

Well, our Centre Community is called to be ‘that community’. And, Jesus Christ is that foundation of hope.

Care & Concern Ministries Incorporated (‘Care & Concern’) is the Public Benevolent Institution (PBI) of the members of ‘The Centre Dural’ (Dural District Baptist Church). It is one of the strategies of the Church in facilitating its care for people, playing a part in seeking a just and compassionate society, and bringing the hope of Jesus to a hurting world.

Care and Concern Ministries is a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) providing tax-deductibility for donations over $2.
