A message from Jeremy Rensford, Chair of Greater Shepparton Ministers’ Association

Have you ever wondered to yourself “Why am I here?” or “Is there a God? And if so, does He want anything to do with me?” Many of us are searching for deeper spiritual meaningful answers, and in a moment I’ll give you an option of how to scratch that itch if that’s you.

The McCrindle Research (2021) discovered Australians, coming out of COVID, are experience a spiritual awakening. 47 per cent of us have thought more about the meaning of life, 64 per cent of us are likely to attend a church in person or online and 33 per cent of us have thought more about God.
