Hello. I'm Anita and am the Director of Children's Ministries at Alice Springs Baptist Church. I welcome you and your children to come and worship with us!
A Taswegian by birth, I came to faith while doing Teacher Training in the late 1970’s. The catalyst for this being, the struggle between not believing in God and being angry with Him at the same time. After teaching in the wild west of the island I went to Bible College. Then I spent several years working as a regional Staffer for Scripture Union. This taught me much about myself, other people and the creative, sustaining power of our faithful God. These days I am married to Philip, a loving and caring husband. We have two primary age children who provide most of the reality checks in our life! My role at ASBC has me working with children 0-12 years and the capable Children’s Ministry Team. We run programmes across these age groups aimed at developing and nurturing the faith of each child. One of the reasons I enjoy working with children is the way in which they
respond to the Bible. This is especially so with the stories of Jesus’
life and teaching. The childrens’ sense of wonder and awe helps me recognise
anew, that the Gospel can change, enrich and empower people’s lives.
