COMMUNITY OF LOVE (COOL)
COOL is a place for having Worship, Fellowship and Discipleship as a community. We encourage our members to study the Bible and grow in intimacy with God through prayer, praise, and worship. In COOL every member can experience warm fellowship with fellow believers through loving friendship and caring. COOL is also a place to develop and multiply God-given talents for ministry in God's Kingdom; to reach out and bring others to experience true life in Jesus Christ.

Becoming a Part of Body of Christ through COOL
I joined BIC in mid-2019 when I started my university at Melbourne. Before coming to Melbourne, I looked into the churches available around me and stumbled upon BIC. As soon as I came into BIC’s Sunday Service, I was interested and captivated by the delivery and explanation of solid doctrines from the Scriptures and immediately searched for more.
I was introduced to my current COOL shepherd on my first day and started participating in COOL since then. Through COOL, I learned heaps of new things such as being a part of the body of Christ, developing a godly motivation and spreading God’s characteristics from the inside out. Overall, COOL leads me to become a better individual in the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of life.
My Second Family
I joined COOL because I wanted to have more friends in Melbourne and I would’ve never thought that they will become my second family here. The first time I came to COOL, they were all very welcoming, care, and gave me a lot of food. It made me feel extremely comfortable, so I came back the next week, the week after, and until now.
They have become my second family, and they are always there for me in times of need, always encouraging and supporting me. Through COOL, I’ve learned how to pray not only for me but also for others, and I’ve learned the Word of God. Besides, I’ve realised how to love and take care of one another, and I’ve experienced God a lot through COOL. Truly I can see that God is working and showing Himself through my community.
COOL is a place where we can worship together and listen to the word of God in a smaller group compared to a service. COOL also has a fellowship session where we can get to know each other and God in a super fun way.
So far, for almost a year, I’ve joined Next Gen’s COOL and the COOL community has helped me to learn a lot. In COOL, by listening to other stories, we can bless each other and also be constantly reminded to maintain our relationship with God.
BETHANY FAMILY FELLOWSHIP (BFF)
Family is a column for a church. A strong church consists of a strong family, which builds a strong community.
The purpose of this ministry is to build a strong Christian family according to God’s purpose and plan and to train and equip families into the backbone of BIC Melbourne various ministries.
We are sure that a strong family will impact the community for the kingdom of God.

Vision
Likewise teach the older woman to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to live their husband and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. (NIV) - Titus 2:3-5

So they will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with God], The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.'
