Mens Camping

Men's camping weekend

Gents. On the weekend of the 3-5 May, some of the guys from CoastEC are heading up to camp at Kylie's Beach Campground. We'd love to see you there. You'll have to book your own spot - click the link to lock in a patch of grass.

When you book a spot, you can actually fit up to 6 people on a site (10m x 8m patch), so it will be cheaper to book in a small group. However, only two vehicles are allowed.
If you have trouble with transport - contact me and I’ll try and help out.

Book a spot

It's a BYO kind of situation - chilled as. We’ll have a BBQ to cook on, and a few guys will bring Eskys/ice if you need to keep things cold. There is no formal program to the weekend - it’s just a good chance to unwind, have some good convos, go for a walk, swim, play some games, etc.

All welcome (18+), and if you don't have any camping gear, then no worries, others at Coast do - let me know, and I'll try to hook you up with someone who has some extra equipment/gear.

Lastly, due to the nature of booking yourself in, I would appreciate it if you could please let me know you are coming. This way, I can contact you in case of weather changes, emergencies, etc.

Marriage Course (May)

Marriage Course (May)

At Coast, we believe marriage is a fantastic gift from God and something to celebrate and cherish. We also know that good, healthy marriages are the result of lots of hard work from both husband and wife. 

We’d love to invite you to 5 different sessions on Saturday mornings spread out over 5 months. 

You don't have to commit to all 5 sessions (although that would be my recommendation if it works for your household rhythm); you can just pick and choose which ones would be most helpful for whichever season your marriage is in. 

We'd come together, watch and engage with the course content - giving time for you and your spouse to discuss/plan/pray it through and then head off home for the rest of your Saturday. 

Golden times!

Details

Time: 9-11am at the Church Office (1/42 Wharf St, Forster)

When: 

  • 3rd Feb = Session 1 - God's design for your marriage.

  • 2nd March = Session 2 - What damages our connectedness in marriage?

  • 6th April = Session 3 - Building on the positives - friendship and communication.

  • 11th May = Session 4 - Building on the positives - sex and spirituality.

  • 1st June = Session 5 - Managing conflict gently. 

Cost: Whether you attend just one session or all five, it costs $25 per couple.

* Please note if you have babies/little kids, then we won't be providing a creche/child-minding service. Hopefully, it being just 2 hours means it's easier to find someone to look after your little one/s. 

If you are legitimately stuck and don't have anyone who could do this, then I can give you some suggestions of Safe Ministry-approved people at Coast who could be an option. 

We reckon this is going to be super helpful for all those at Coast - whether you've been married a few months or many decades, whether your marriage is healthy or whether you'd like to grow stronger in certain areas, then we'd love you to come to some or all of the above sessions.

EXPLORE

Thurs nights, 7:00-8:30pm

Explore is a group for beginners who are keen to check out the bible for themselves.

It's a chance to explore faith, ask questions and to discover for yourself the difference that Jesus makes.

Each session includes food, some time digging into the Bible to see what it says about Jesus, discussion about what we've read, and an opportunity to ask as many questions as you like (or to just sit and listen).

You don't need to have any prior knowledge or church background, so just come as you are.

If you're interested in coming along, let us know by getting in contact here.
