We are convinced that the good news about Jesus matters for everyone. One of our primary tasks at St Peter’s is equipping and sending everyone to serve in word and action. We also support others who have gone out to proclaim Jesus’ love, teaching, life, death and resurrection to those who don’t already trust him as their Lord and Saviour. St Peter’s partners with a variety of ministry organisations in Australia and around the world. We support our ministry partners financially, through our prayers and other practical means.
Below are some details about our ministry partners.
Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (AFES)
AFES – Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students
Students sharing their faith in Jesus with other students – that’s the heart of AFES, or the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students. We’re a network of 60+ Christian student groups on unis all around Australia. Many people go through uni without ever encountering Jesus. We want to change that – everyone should have the chance to hear the good news he offers. And for those who do know Jesus, we want them to be equipped and encouraged to live for him in all parts of their lives.
Each campus has its own program and schedule, but there are common things to every AFES group. You can expect to connect with a warm and welcoming community, study the Bible together, and be equipped and trained to grow more like Jesus. AFES groups are led by students, for students, with the hope of reaching them for Christ. On campus, students open the Bible with their friends, invite honest questions, and share the life-changing news of Jesus.
CDU Christians is the local university Christian group.
AUSIL – Australian Society for Indigenous Languages
The Australian Society for Indigenous Languages (AuSIL) is committed to serving indigenous language communities in Australia and the Timor region by means of linguistic research and documentation, translation, training, and the development of language resources.

Toby Koefoed serving with ConnectNT
Toby began serving with ConnectNT in 2025 in a trainee role. ConnectNT is a Christian charity established in 2021 to provide for both the spiritual and other needs of the people of Darwin and the wider Northern Territory.
Their tagline ‘Connecting with the love of Jesus’ captures what we are all about. Jesus provided us with an amazing example of generous service of people from all different backgrounds. He showed unconditional love to all, to the point of his death and beyond. We want to model that love in all that we do in Darwin. We also believe spirituality is an important part of life. We want to, where appropriate, provide a space to talk about and engage with the Christian view on faith and spirituality.
Nungalinya College
Nungalinya College is a Combined Churches Training College for Indigenous Australians. The College is situated in Casuarina, a northern suburb of Darwin, Australia’s gateway city of the North.
‘Nungalinya’ is an Aboriginal word used by the local Larrakia people, whose land includes the Darwin area. The word refers to Old Man Rock, a reef lying off Casuarina Beach, which can be seen at low tide, that was a place of learning for the young men. The Larrakia people themselves suggested that the College use that name reflecting its identity as a place of learning and also the biblical idea of the “rock” of Christ as the foundation for our lives.
We acknowledge the traditional ownership of the Larrakia people over the land on which our campus is built.
At Nungalinya College we train men and women for leadership roles in churches and communities, and in exploring the Bible and Christian faith contextually. We train family members to make sense of the wider community and to learn its ways, so as to participate healthily in holistic community life while celebrating and strengthening Indigenous identity.
Scripture Union Northern Territory (SU NT)
SUNT – Scripture Union Northern Territory is a movement of volunteers from a wide variety of churches who are committed to working with children, young people and families.
Programs give participants positive experiences and help them learn and grow together. Within each program, people have the opportunity to hear about the Christian faith in a non pressured environment so they can make their own decisions in relation to faith and beliefs.
Scripture Union is a not-for-profit organisation whose major source of income is from individuals and churches who see value in SU ministries.
