Destination Exmouth

After 3 fantastic years in Broome, the time has come for the Edwards to move on. We have accepted the Bishop's invitation to become the Minister in Charge of Exmouth Anglican Church from February 2009.

It is with great sadness that we will be leaving Broome. We love the people, the place and our church family here very much.


However it is with great joy that we look forward to the new challenges in Exmouth. Exmouth is 1200km north of Perth and has daily flights to Perth. Established in the late 1960's by the US Navy as a submarine communications station, the town now stands on its own as a popular tourist destination.

Exmouth attracts people mainly for its natural maritime beauty including Ningaloo Coral Reef, Whale Sharks and excellent swimming, surfing & fishing. Not too far away is the rugged Cape Range National Park and the small tourist town of Coral Bay.

The church currently has around 15 members and meets in the local Senior Citizens Centre as it does not have its own building in town. The church members are raising funds to build a new church facility which will probably also include a new Rectory. The congregation is keen to reach out to the town with the good news of the Gospel Jesus Christ and believes a purpose built church building will help to establish the church in Exmouth.

Whilst the current congregation is able to support itself in most ministry expenses, it is not yet able to pay the minister's stipend (wage). The Diocese of North West Australia humbly asks that you prayerfully consider becoming Ministry Partners with the Edwards in Exmouth through prayer and financial support.
