We acknowledge God as Creator and owner of all things. We acknowledge that He gave stewardship of the land on which we meet to the Bindil and Wulgurukaba people who have welcomed many other cultures onto this land.

We pay our respects to the Wulgurukaba and Bindal people and their elders/leaders, both past and present, and those who are rising up to become future leaders.
