Manly Presbyterian Church meets in its own building at 137 Oceana Terrace, Manly, which overlooks Moreton Bay and the Manly Harbour, a marina crowded with yachts and quality eateries. Manly is renowned for its relaxed bay-side atmosphere. About 17 kilometres from the Brisbane Central Business District, Manly is very much a family area. There are good bike and walkways, a community swimming pool and a seawater wading pool. In the summer, outdoor activities such as canoeing and rollerblading are also very popular. Many Brisbane people spend time in this waterfront precinct. Manly Presbyterian Church is in the Mowbray Presbytery and the Pastor would receive good fellowship and support from the other Pastors and Ministers of the Presbytery and Qld’s Ministry Training Network. A Minister from another church in the Presbytery would be appointed to directly support the HM Pastor and be chairman (Moderator) of the Elder’s meeting (Session). The HM Pastor’s position at Manly-Lota Presbyterian Church is well-suited to an SMBC or Moore graduate studying part-time at Queensland Theological College (QTC) at St Lucia to become an ordained Presbyterian Minister. There is quick access to QTC via Manly Road, Wynnum Road, Captain Cook Bridge and Coronation Drive. The total salary package would be a full HM Pastor’s stipend including an Expense-Payment Fringe Benefit calculated for those cases where the HM Pastor rents (or purchases) his own housing (see brochure “The Mission Field at Home”).
