Clayfield Baptist Church

Inside/Out Chaplaincy

Inside/Out Chaplaincy provides pastoral care to every prisoner in Queensland through volunteer evangelical Christians.

About 25 chaplains act to meet the needs of over 5,500 prisoners, providing them with a ray of hope through Jesus Christ, where before they faced helplessness and hopelessness.  Part of the goal is to help prisoners stay out of jail after they have served their time - and new life in Christ has proved to be the best way to achieve this!

The Director (Rev John Walker) and chaplains address Church groups with the message, "Prisoners are people!"  The common misconception that all prisoners are vile or evil people is far from the truth.  Church people are the ones most likely to give an ex-prisoner a go.  There have been some remarkable success stories.

Scripture Union Chaplaincy

Clayfield Baptist Church proudly supports Ian Charlesworth as chaplain of Kedron High School, bringing hope to a generation facing demanding pressures of teenage life in our modern culture.

Since SU Qld first introduced a Chaplain to a State school in 1990, Chaplaincy Services have been implemented in more than 600 schools across Queensland.

SU Qld Chaplains care for young people’s spiritual and emotional needs through pastoral care, activity programs, community outreach and adventure-based learning.  Most importantly, SU Qld Chaplains provide a personal point of Christian contact, care and support for students, teachers and their families within their schools.

Queensland Baptist Aged Care Chaplaincy

In conjunction with Queensland Baptist Care, Ashgrove Baptist and Windsor Road Baptist, Clayfield Baptist Church provides ministry to make it possible for those in Aged Care at facilities such as Hilltop Gardens to know God's redeeming love.

Morning devotions are held most weekdays, with services conducted for the residents on Sunday mornings.  As some residents are without caring families or still-living friends, one-on-one visitations are also provided.
