We recognise that the land on which we serve in the Mackay region, God’s land, in course of time was given by God to the Yuwi nation, before being taken by European settlers. We Invite First Nations peoples, along with all people of our region, to take their place in Christ, as a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, declaring the praises of him who calls us out of darkness into his wonderful light (1 Peter 2:9).
