Indigenous Australians

“You can’t care unless you know us. We can’t trust unless we know you. Let’s get to know each other.

Connections and shared experiences are at heart of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Ministry. It starts and ends with fellowship: sitting around a fire, having a yarn, sharing stories and having a good laugh.”

 

How we’re involved

The Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Ministries (ATSIM) department of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Greater Sydney is an intercultural ministry. It involves consistent one-on-one connections to develop personal relationships and build community trust. ATSIM provides outreach, support, resources and understanding to local churches serving members of the indigenous Australian Community.

Through this ministry we strive to bridge the gap between the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and local communities and provide safe environments where ATSI members all feel seen, represented and valued.
