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.

The Importance of Being in a Community
I am blessed and grateful to be a part of COOL Bethel. Since I joined the community in 2018, I have learned a lot of things especially on how to serve one another. Back then, I was a shy and passive person that was reluctant to join any community. However, one of my friends in university somehow invited me to join a COOL in BIC. At first, I wanted to come along just to fill in my spare time.
But, as time went by, I felt more comfortable with all the other members and decided to stay. Slowly but consistently, they started to encourage me to serve; started with praying and sharing about God’s goodness. To be honest, it was really hard for me to share my experience with God in front of a lot of people, but my shepherds and cool members never stop encouraging me and giving me the motivation to serve one another according to the word of God.
For me, planted in the right community is very important for our spiritual journey because God sent us to spread the Gospel, serve, and love one another.
I joined this COOL Judea as a member back in 2011. This is one of the first 180 COOL (it was part of 180 back then, and now it is a part of NextGen).
This COOL is where I can say, I have got to know Christ and became a true believer. My COOL leaders back then nurtured, taught and discipled me to be more like Jesus. Not only that, their passion and love for Jesus always inspired me and stirred my heart to have a deeper relationship with Jesus.
Fast forward to 2020, I have now been entrusted to lead this COOL. My desire is for every member to know Christ personally and to grow in deeper intimacy with God. We want to make this COOL a family; the place where we feel like we belong and that we can grow together to know Christ more.
I admit that I am not a perfect leader or shepherd for the COOL. I have still got so much to learn. There had been at times the feeling of laziness to hold a COOL prayer. But there will always be one person from one of us who will initiate and encourage us to have COOL prayers. I honestly feel blessed every time we have the opportunity to pray for the COOL. Prayer truly makes a difference in the COOL and this COOL is truly a place where we can support and build each other up in faith and spiritual discipline.
I’m truly blessed to be a part of this COOL Judea. A place where I can call my second family.
A Place to Grow in Faith
Taking a step into a new community is never an easy step. I know this because I needed to leave behind all of my friends and my colleagues back in Indonesia to start my journey in getting a graduate degree. I used to ponder on whether the benefit of my journey here was really worth it as I felt that I needed to give up the stability of my current life for something that was unknown.
As I journey on, I was introduced to a friend of my family that was a member of BIC church. Through her, I was introduced to COOL Moriah. I was sceptical at first on whether I would connect with them, but I was proven wrong.
I find Moriah as a place where I can grow together as a Christian. It also becomes a refuge while we are away from home. Now I am proud to say that it has become my second family.
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.
