  • About MCF (9)

    The Military Christian Fellowship of Australia (MCF-A or MCF) is an interdenominational fellowship (the fancy word for any type of church) of all ranks from all services and civilians who seek to promote Christian faith in the ADF. Our mission is to promote Christian faith in the ADF by;

    • Being a disciple for Christ,
    • Encouraging, supporting and developing Christians in the ADF, and
    • Actively supporting the ministry of ADF Chaplains.

    We help members live effectively as Christians in the ADF, by providing support to;

    • Local area groups,
    • Deployed members,
    • ADF Chaplains, and
    • Other Christian Military Ministries.

    • Solid Rock Ministries (5)

      SRM Logo

      Solid Rock Ministries is a non-denominational Christian Ministry aiming to encourage military wives. Small Groups meet on various Bases with the local support of at least one Chaplain and under the wider covering of Solid Rock Ministries.  Solid Rock Ministries (SRM) began at the beginning of 2007 and partners with Military Christian Fellowship (a ministry to Defence since 1959).  Unlike the Military Christian Fellowship, which supports military members, SRM’s focus is military wives. We do, however, welcome involvement from female military members.  Military wives and their children are most welcome at the Solid Rock groups.  We have a group code of conduct to ensure that women feel embraced and included.  We recognise the unique stresses and hardships that are placed upon military wives, particularly the difficulties associated with moving and with husband’s deploying. As a group we hope to be an empathetic listening ear as well as an encouragement to you.  Solid Rock groups look at informal studies based on the group’s needs and interests.  We aim to be a source of constructive help in assisting you to live life as a military wife.

      The name “Solid Rock Ministries” comes from Matthew 7:24 – 25 in the Bible: “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock; and the rain descended, the floods came and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.” The storms in life will come (eg. moving and deployment) but if we base our lives on Jesus (the Rock) then He will help us through them all.  We trust that you have experienced a little bit of God’s unfailing love for you as you have visited us today.

      Blessings to you,
