Cath James
Minister of the Word – Children, Youth & Youth Adults
This is my first ministry role as a Minister of the Word. I was previously involved in a variety of lay ministries including bringing families together across the Synod of Victoria and Tasmania for an annual family church camp.
I’m excited to be in a role helping the BUC congregation move towards being an intergenerational church. “Being intergenerational is …
Not just about children, it’s about people of all ages
Not about what we do, it’s about who we are
Not something that just happens, it requires intentionality”
From the UCA Assembly document Being an Intergenerational Church
God’s vision for wholeness is one where each of us are valued and loved for who we are, but also in relationship with one another. One of the few places we can still do this is as part of a church community.
I also have the privilege of overseeing the ministry with our teenagers as part of YUCY and our young adults in the student house program.
