Mission Statement
"The mission of the support network is to offer suitably qualified support in areas of mental, emotional, physical, and relationship dysfunction or crisis that are beyond the capacity of ecclesias. Consistent with this objective, support will be offered by people who are qualified by profession, training, or extensive experience and whose philosophies are consistent with Christadelphian values and beliefs."

Aims
The Queensland Christadelphian Support Network was developed in recognition of the fact that many of the problems confronted by ecclesias today demand a knowledge and expertise that is often beyond their individual capacity. The Network aims to bring together the expertise of the whole community and put it at the disposal of ecclesias that are in need of specialist advice.

 In Queensland, the Network provides ecclesias with access to its expertise by:

  • providing an advisory service to ecclesias;
  • providing a confidential counselling service for brothers and sisters;
  • presenting seminars on areas of identified need.

 The Queensland Support Network exists to serve the needs of Queensland ecclesias. For this reason, it answers directly to these ecclesias and relies on their support for funding. The committee does not aim to usurp the authority of the elected Arranging Brethren or to replace resources that already exist within ecclesias, but merely supplements ecclesial resources as needed.
