Hervey Bay Christian Minister’s Association

By James Dearden

I was once again voted in by the Ministers as the Chair for the Hervey Bay Christian Ministers Association (HBCMA) for 2026. It is a privilege and honour to serve our churches in this capacity.

My heart and vision for the churches is to see a growing unity. That each of the Ministers can feel they can connect with each other across the denominations, as we are all part of the one family of God. My heart is to see these relationships grow and role model this to our church congregations.

My vision for Hervey Bay is that we would continue to see a spiritual awakening, and I want as many churches as possible on board, to be open to a growing move of God. God is at work in Hervey Bay and having other ministers outside of our church by our side, helps me see the bigger picture.

We may be the biggest church in Hervey Bay, but we cannot reach Hervey Bay by ourselves. We need the larger body of Christ if we want to see more people come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

Pentecost is coming up fast on the 24th of May. Maybe you would like to come and be a part of a combined churches service. An opportunity to worship our God together. There will be a time of prayer and a sausage sizzle at 5pm, before the service starts at 6pm. We would love to see you there.
