OUR COMMUNITY
The AU community is a group of Singaporean Catholic students studying in Australia. As a community, we desire to encounter Jesus Christ while studying abroad. Although we may be far from home, we are never far from the One. So, we journey with each other to grow and deepen our personal relationship with God. Embarking on this journey to become intentional disciples, we constantly encourage each other to live out our faith as university students in Australia. Despite being apart physically, we are united as ONE church, ONE spirit, and ONE body of Christ.
We share our lives and support one another through cell groups and fellowships. As faith stirs faith, we are strengthened and edified by each other’s faith. In this way, we carry one another closer towards Jesus, just as in the story of the paralytic man, who was carried to Jesus by his friends.
​
“Then some people came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. And when they could not bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and after having dug through it, they let down the mat on which the paralytic lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”"
Mark 2: 3-5
​
As we build these kingdom friendships, we build up the kingdom of God on earth.
