It was a painfully cruel method of execution reserved for the lowest of the low—slaves, pirates, and enemies of the state. However, out of all those crucified by Rome, there is one whose name is remembered and whose death is celebrated around the world—Jesus of Nazareth.

This event is part of a week of ministry partnership between Gympie Presbyterian Church, Gympie Baptist Church and students from the Queensland Theological. Our two churches will be hosting a team of QTC students to involve them in the life and ministry of our churches. For one week they’ll be putting down their books and getting their hands dirty (sometimes literally) with ministry to seniors, adults, families, youth, and children in the Gympie region.
