Mel Paddick -
Pastoral Carer and Fitness Professional
Having grown up in a Christian community, God has led me boldly and compassionately through life's ups and downs.
My studies include a degree in Ministry through the ACT (Australian College of Theology), with an emphasis on counselling and chaplaincy, Conflict Resolution under AOC (Australian Online Courses), Christian Mentoring (Dr A. Klose), alongside being a registered Gym Instructor with AusActive Australia.
While Mentoring and Discipleship may take many forms throughout our lives, occurring both formally and informally, their role is to help one another stand in the awesome wonder of God, even in the midst of suffering.
I believe Pastoral Care and Physical Health Support are holistically vital to our personal growth and while I fall short of perfection, I am profoundly committed to the Christian journey both for myself and others. It is my privilege to stand in the gap, offering spiritual, emotional and physical support in your time of need.
"Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come."
Psalms 71:17-18

We all experience mental anguish at times. Pastoral Care offers compassionate Christ-centred support and guidance to help you when you need it most.

Mentoring
Committed to the Journey
Personal growth is the aim of mentoring. Refusing to stay in the same place, overcoming fear and not living with regret. Letting go of shame and daring to be who God qualifies you to be, are intrinsic to the mentoring program.
The content of Christian mentoring involves all aspects of life, eg., internal, family, work and social. Other practical issues such as sleep, exercise and relaxation play an important role in the mentoring sessions.
If you're ready to let go and grow, get in touch today.
Physical Health Support
Movement to Increase Health
Finding the link between our Spiritual, Emotional and Physical Health is an area I'm passionate about. When our physical health is suffering, it directly affects our spiritual and emotional state. Likewise, when our emotions are stretched or our faith is feeling crushed, our physical health suffers too.
If you're feeling unbalanced and desire a holistic approach to life, contact me today.
Discipleship
Growing Closer to Jesus
At the point of committing your life to Christ, it is standard practice to participate in a discipleship course to learn the basics about God and his redemptive story. What then?
Do you desire to know more; to foster a deep relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but simply not know where to start?

Apart from supplying relevant contact details and an outline of your needs, nothing else is needed beforehand.
