Maruma-li Community Ministries (MCM) is a community of Christ-loving people, who seek to serve the local indigenous community of Moree, by using our gifts and abilities in responsive ways. MCM seeks to acknowledge the cultural perspectives and values of the indigenous people, and the family groups represented in our community.

Paul and Erin Strahan, the leaders of MCM, strongly believe that God has called them to serve and work alongside Indigenous people, helping to equip and resource them to be firstly disciples of Jesus Christ, and secondly, Christian witnesses in the community to their own people.

In the community, MCM is more commonly known as “Paul n Erin”, “church” and “strahans” or “them fullas over there in Amaroo”. The culture and environment that MCM strives to create through the ministry work, is one that has a commitment to being approachable, relevant and deeply invested with Australia’s First Nation people.

We welcome church groups, school groups, mission organisations to come and visit and participate in the variety of outreach opportunities we have available – for God’s glory and the good of our community.

We are currently looking for MCM Community Support Workers to come and join our missional community.

We also welcome people of any age to come and join theGAP – a residential ministry mentorship programme. This will be re-starting in January 2025!

We acknowledge the One True God who created all lands,  and those He has given the authority to be the custodians of this land on which we live and conduct business.

We pay our respects to those elders God has in place, and has had in place and has yet to put in place.
