About Bathurst
Wiradjuri Country

BCA has worked with the Diocese of Bathurst to fund a minister-in-training position in the Diocese. The role is to provide a pathway for new college graduates to train for future ministry. After being announced in 2020, the partnership has supported Steven & Caitlin Klouth in 2021-2022, then James & Charly Boardman in 2023-2024.

Pray for the Yemms

September
Praise God for Bishop Mark Calder and the way he has led our Diocese with a great love for Jesus, the Bible and the Gospel going out. Pray for Mark & Susan as they finish their time serving in the Central West, and pray that the Lord would provide a new shepherd to lead us in grace and truth.
