The Penrith Baptist Church congregation prayerfully and financially supports a number of outreach / mission projects / programmes. These are a few of them.
Chaplaincy in Public Schools of Western Sydney Thru GWFC
School chaplains are a way to support and assist the school community. Chaplains seek to bring comfort, relive burdens , bring hope, give voice and empower people and communities. We at Penrith Baptist Church support the chaplaincies in Penrith public schools through GWFC.

Creating Safe Spaces Training
As part of fulfilling God’s call to love one another, the Baptist Churches of NSW & ACT are committed to creating safe spaces in our local church contexts. We are committed to safe ministry practice which is God-honoring, person-valuing, respectful, and free from harm and abuse. Safe ministry is more than simply a risk management exercise or fulfillment of our legal obligations. Rather safe ministry is first of all an outworking of what James 1:27 calls true religion – caring for the vulnerable (widows and orphans), and an expression of what is required of all people, that is “to seek justice, love, mercy and walk humbly before our God” (Micah 6:8).
