THE WAY FORWARD

The Frame Work

There has been significant impacts on the way we live life due to this COVID season, particularly in the way we gather as church. Some things were interrupted, others were disrupted, and there were some things that we discovered. The Arana leadership teams have now begun asking questions about how we can restart what was interrupted, how we can reform what was disrupted, and how we can renew what we do in response to what we have discovered. We believe “The Way Forward” can achieve this vision…

The Road MAp

We have seen many shifts in the way we engage in our church services over this season, moving through the introduction and now easing of restrictions around how we can gather. Moving from public gatherings to online services to small group gatherings, we have seen resilience in the global church to continue spreading the gospel and providing a space for people to connect with God and each other. We have seen so much value in how these different ways of doing church can enable more people to commune with God, and we wish to continue this into the future. And as we return to being able to gather together in larger numbers, we are heading into a season that will look different to what we’ve known before.

Partner With Us

In order for us as a church community to continue in each of these expressions of church services, we are asking our people to consider how they can partner with us in this vision. In each area, there is a need…

Arana Online Appeal

To film our services, we have been using our volunteers’ equipment. To sustain our online services, we will need to acquire the equipment as a church. The Finance Team has ensured that the church can cover $13,000 of the cost, but we are in need of another $13,000 to procure the equipment and technology required to continue providing an engaging and quality online church service
​
Investing in this will allow us to purchase the following:
- Multiple high quality cameras, complete with lenses and Tripods
- All required hardware and software to produce clear audio
- Small but significant changes to our live set up to create a better online experience such as congregation mics.

Target has been reached! Thank you to all those who have invested in our 'Arana Online Appeal'! We look forward to continuing Arana online into the future! 

ARAna At HOME

Some people prefer to experience church in smaller gatherings, and we'd love to have home groups that do church together for them. We are in need of host who are willing to open up their homes and lead groups.

Building Vision Appeal

At the beginning of 2020, we began looking into upgrading our facilities in a project called “Building Vision 2020”. We are still pursuing this to improve not just our venue, but the way our people experience church, both for the people inside and our neighbours outside the building. We are in need of finances to fund most of this project, but some great news! Council have approved a Community Grant to fully fund the installation of Air-Conditioning in our upstairs Hall!
We understand that our stage renovation is a significant project however invest in this will help us begin with the following:
- Demolition of existing stage and sound booth
- Change orientation and construction of new stage and sound booth
- Acoustic treatment of stage 
- Reconfiguration of Mother's room
- Updated Front of House system

- Update house lighting 
- New welcome desk 
- Basketball court for Youth and Kids ministries
