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.

Reminding each Other of the Love and Grace of God
As an international student with no family members around, COOL Cana is what I would call as my second family here – who offers me comfort and where I have the opportunity to meet various types of people and learn from one another. Not only in terms of the social aspect, but COOL is also where I could study and share the Word of God. It is beautiful to have people who support me constantly and continually remind each other of the love and grace of God. Overall, COOL has been an integral part of my journey as a Christian, which has fostered my growth in both my social and spiritual life. I am so grateful for this family.
It is more than just a weekly gathering
BIC’s COOL is my first small group. At first, I was not sure whether to join – but I thought I’d give it a try. It turns out to be an impactful place in my journey of faith. It’s more than just a weekly gathering but it’s a place to do life and pursue God together. For me, I know God deeper through learning and discussing His word together.
Also, being in the community has transformed the way I see God’s love. During difficult times in my life, my brothers and sisters in Christ always support me through prayers – which I believe is God’s work to sustain and strengthen my faith. It is really a safe place where we can be vulnerable and be who we are, because of the genuine care and love from the people in the community.
Becoming a Part of Body of Christ through COOL
I joined BIC in mid-2019 when I started my university at Melbourne. Before coming to Melbourne, I looked into the churches available around me and stumbled upon BIC. As soon as I came into BIC’s Sunday Service, I was interested and captivated by the delivery and explanation of solid doctrines from the Scriptures and immediately searched for more.
I was introduced to my current COOL shepherd on my first day and started participating in COOL since then. Through COOL, I learned heaps of new things such as being a part of the body of Christ, developing a godly motivation and spreading God’s characteristics from the inside out. Overall, COOL leads me to become a better individual in the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of life.
