PartnerWithUs

Partner with Brunswick Baptist Church with ongoing work of supporting Asylum Seekers

Consider partnering with us to create a place of welcome and support for Asylum Seekers.


  • OMID (Persian word for Hope) is a community of Asylum Seekers which gathers each Thursday evenings at Brunswick Baptist Church from 5 to 9pm. The group engages in an English class and then food and conversations before reading the scriptures together, something Iranians love to do. You can come along and participate in English learning and conversations You can contribute food or money for food to go to cooking a persian feast each week or help in providing useful English learning resources 

  •  We are also looking for large donations to go towards helping asylum seekers with their legal fee. It can cost $7,000 or more to go through the process of applying for their visa, this is tough when they are not allow to work You can also help us set up a community garden for Asylum Seekers and people in the community to interact together 

  •  Help us to keep a community development staff to coordinate resources and activities for Asylum Seeker 

 Let us know if you like to participate in some shape or form info@brunswickbaptistchurch.org.au
