The role this organisation plays in ministry is that of an armour‑bearer
equipping and serving the Church so that RI can expand into every Sunshine Coast public school as part of Kingdom outreach, and
strengthening and protecting instructors, standing beside them on the front line, so they can fulfil their calling. 

We do this by:
  • Supporting the RI ministry practically and spiritually
  • Protecting it from misunderstandings, threats and administrative challenges
  • Maintaining its integrity, credibility, and stability
  • Standing with instructors and churches so they're not carrying the burden alone.
Every tax‑deductible gift invests in the discipleship of RI instructors—raising up servant‑hearted Christians equipped to share the faith with competence, confidence, and effectiveness. Our resources support over 120 local instructors.

Every recurring donation fuels and sustains this movement, as we:
  • Coordinate, monitor, and manage RI across 29 local public schools
  • Build teams to fill vacancies and expand into non‑RI schools
  • Safeguard a strong, compliant and effective ministry with accreditation training and relational problem solving
  • Unite local churches under the Sunshine Coast Christian RI faith cooperative banner for Kingdom outreach
  • Work with school leaders on behalf of churches to open doors to faith education.

This organisation exists so that every child opted into RI has the opportunity to encounter the hope of Jesus. 

We are a registered not‑for‑profit charity with the Australian Charities and Not‑for‑profits Commission and hold Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status. All donations over $2 are tax deductible. 

Our ministry work is wholly supported by generous kingdom-minded donors and church partners. Whilst RI has legislative support from the government, we do not receive any government funding, making your support so much more crucial.
