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.

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.
Feeling God’s love through community
Being a part of a church community was a strange concept for me. I started to come to COOL meetings when I first moved to Melbourne and a friend of mine asked me to join. After weeks of declining, I eventually gave it a shot partly because I felt bad for constantly turning his invitations down. But now I can honestly say I am so thankful God has lead me to such a beautiful group of people. My small COOL community is not made up of perfect people, but from them I can feel God’s grace and love shining through. I picked up my Bible for the first time in years and together we study the Words of God, pray and support each other through tough times. Joining a COOL was truly a blessing and I am thankful every day for the opportunity.
When COOL Becomes More than Just Social Gathering
I came to know God recently through my experience of Him at one of BIC’s Sunday services. I was first overwhelmed because I didn’t know what it was, and the actual meaning behind it. I didn’t know what I should do next. Responding God’s calling wasn’t an easy journey, with many around me questioning my experience and new-found faith. At first, I didn’t know what to expect in COOL, where I thought it was nothing but a social gathering. After joining it, I felt really supported in ways that weren’t imaginable. I realized how the diverse background that each of us bring, complements each other’s spiritual journey. Throughout the six months of joining, I am very grateful for the family in Christ that I’m with right now, and hope to have stronger bonds through the journey ahead.
